Account Merge

This utility is used to modify a source account code with the destination account code in the accounting lines. This process corresponds to an update of the balance.
It is simply a movement merge. There is no change occurring at setup level.

Note:

 The account merge is carried out without taking the "propagation of accounts" setup into account.

Criteria

All companies (field ALLCPY)

It is necessary to specify if the merge takes into account all the companies or only one of them ; then if all the sites are involved or only one (if a previous selection has been made on the company, the site selected belongs to it). Only the postings entered in an account for the company/companies concerned or the site(s) concerned will be selected.

It is the default company of the user.
Legislation (field LEG)

All sites are concerned by the merge.
Site (field FCY)

A site must be specified when the All sites flag is not checked. Only the postings for this site will be taken into account for the transfer. It is the default site of the user.
This site must belong to the company that may have been entered previously.

Accounts

Chart code (field COA)

Code of the chart of accounts to which the source and destination accounts belong.
Source account (field CPTORG)

Account to merge.
If the source account is a matchable account with the matching codes A, B, and the destination account is also a matchable account with the matching codes A, B and C, the merge also merges the matching codes. That is, the As are grouped and the Bs are grouped.
If the source account is a matchable account with existing matches and the destination account is a non matchable account, the merge saves the matching codes Note: A matchable account with existing matches can be set to non matchable by clearing the check box.
