COA - Replicate Selected Accounts with New Segment Values

In the Configure/Chart of Accounts window, right-click on highlighted accounts and select Replicate selected accounts from the menu to open the Replicate dialog.

In the dialog box that appears, type the segment values for the accounts you want to add to the accounts you selected in the main COA configuration workspace.

For example, say your account structure is 0000-00. The "00" segment represents the department. You have highlighted account 4000-00 to be "Replicated." To add accounts with departments 01, 02, 03, 04, and 05, type 01 02 03 04 05 in this field and click OK. The system will add these accounts to the COA:

4000-01 Departmental Account Name 1
4000-02 Departmental Account Name 2
4000-03 Departmental Account Name 3
4000-04 Departmental Account Name 4
4000-05 Departmental Account Name 5

The system uses the names you assigned in the G/L Account Segment Names window, if assigned. Otherwise, the system creates a default name for each new account.
