When you add a new ledger account, you may need to recreate the default financial statement designs. If you use custom designs, you may need to manually update those existing designs.

Choose an option below based on whether you're using the default designs or custom designs.

Update the default financial statements

Recreating the default financial statements overwrites any customizations to the default designs. Make a copy of your designs by saving the design with a new name before following the steps to recreate the designs.

The default financial statement design names are BalSAccr, BalSCash, CompAccr, CompCash, IncSAccr, IncSCash, TBalAccr, and TBalCash.

1. In Financial Statement Designer, click File, Open, and select a design.
2. Click File, Save As, and enter a new name.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each design that you need to update.
4. In Financial Statement Designer, from File, select Create.
5. Click Yes on each message for the designs you're updating and the canned net accumulator. Click Cancel for the designs you aren't updating or designs you didn't make a backup for.
6. Close all open financial statement design windows.
7. Exit Financial Statement Designer.
