Movement Accounts

Here you generate movement accounts by linking the movement extensions to the relevant base accounts.

A movement account created in this way is called a generated account. In the Define Account window, the Movement Account check box is automatically selected for all accounts that have ever been generated. If you change generated accounts manually, the changed account will not be generated if you regenerate the movement account. You can see that a movement account has been manually changed by clicking the Overview tab and checking the code under the heading Account Type 2. If the code is C, the account has been changed manually, otherwise it has been generated.

Change the Name of the Base Account

If you change the name of a base account, the names of previously generated movement accounts, which are based on the changed base account, will not be updated automatically. The movement accounts which are based on the changed base account must then be regenerated.
