Use the Account F/M program to enter and maintain GL accounts in FACTS.
Each account record contains the account number, description, alpha sort key, account type, the present balance for the current period and the ending balances for the last 27 fiscal periods. As a safeguard against inadvertent loss of data, you can set the Change/Delete Ending Balances flag in the GL static control record that eliminates the changing and deleting of account balances option.
To access this program, click General Ledger> File Maintenances>Account F/M.
Click field descriptions for information on each field.
