Follow the steps below in General Ledger to create a Chart of Accounts from existing base accounts and prefixes.

1. Select Setup , Generate Accounts.
2. Select the base accounts you want to include in the chart of accounts.
3. Click Start Range to select a range of base accounts, or click Include All to include all base accounts.
4. Click OK.
5. Select the prefix or prefixes you want to combine with each of the previously selected base accounts.
6. Click Start Range to select a range of prefixes, or click Include All to generate accounts for all prefixes.
7. Click OK.
8. Click Start.

Notes:

• This process can be used whenever a new prefix is created
• If divisions / sections are being used, those divisions or sections should be created before Generate Accounts is done. See How do I set up an account prefix in General Ledger?
• You can use this for prefixes/companies you have already created
• The type of base account and the level of the balance sheet on the prefix will affect whether an account will generate. See Why is Generate Accounts not creating the full accounts I expect in General Ledger? for further information.
