statement. By assigning the accounts to specific financial lines, you
create the mechanism by which the account totals are presented and summed
on the financial statements.
For the two
primary financial statements, you can also assign F/S lines to accounts
in the Accounts screen (Accounting\Maintain\Accounts).
When should
I use this subtask?
Update
this subtask whenever new financial statement lines are added or whenever
the accounts related to a specific financial statement line need to be
changed.If
you need to make changes to how the accounts are linked, you must make
them in the corresponding financial statement.
