Account Mapping
window and search for the reporting
entity for which you want to map accounts.
- Create a new record in the table.
- If you want to map an individual account of the
reporting entity against the account of the master company, enter a value in
the Reporting Company From Account field. If you want to map a range of accounts in the reporting entity
against the account of the master company, enter values in both Reporting
Company From Account and Reporting Company To Account fields. The
List of Values can be used to select the required accounts.
Note 1: If
the reporting company and the master company are using the same Chart of
Accounts, a single % sign should be entered in the Reporting Company From Account,
Reporting Company To Account
and Master Company Account fields to indicate that no mapping is
required. Exceptions can still be entered.)
Note 2: For the reporting entities defined for the companies which are
not in IFS Applications, List of Values will not be available for Reporting
Company From Account field and Reporting Company To Account field.

Include/Exclude field to
specify whether the balances of the entered account/range of accounts should
be included or excluded when transferring balances to the master company
account.
- Enter the account of the master company against which
the account/account range you specified in step 3 should be mapped. Note
that it is not possible to enter a master company account if the selection
of accounts is excluded.
- In the
Valid From Period field, enter the period from which the mapping is valid.
- Repeat steps 2-6 in order to enter all the required
mapping rules.

Note: Account mapping is not required if a reporting entity with the
type Planning is connected to the master company itself.
