Linking Accounts to the Statement of Cash Flow

Procedures

1. While in the Working Trial Balance | Report tab, select the Balance Sheet or Income Statement account you want to link to a Statement of Cash Flow account.
   
   Note: There is no limit to the number of Balance Sheet or Income Statement accounts that can be linked to any one Statement of Cash Flow account. For example, both Common Shares and Preferred Shares can be linked to Statement of Cash Flow account number S31.

2. In the CS column (Credit Statement of Cash Flow), select the Statement of Cash Flow account that will receive any credit amounts for the account.

3. In the DS column (Debit Statement of Cash Flow), select the Statement of Cash Flow account that will receive any debit amounts for the account. By entering the account number in both the CS and DS columns, both credit and debit amounts for the account will update the Statement of Cash Flow.

4. Select the Statement of Cash Flow account whose balance you want to update based on selections made in the Balance Sheet and Income Statement accounts.

5. In the CS column for the target Statement of Cash Flow account, select the appropriate code for the type of balance to be linked. For example, a "D" calculates the difference between active and prior period balances.

6. In the DS column for the target Statement of Cash Flow account enter an "A" to specify that the Statement of Cash Flow balance will be automatically updated from a Balance Sheet or Income Statement account.

Results

Accounts are now linked and will update the Statement of Cash Flow from a Balance Sheet or Income Statement account.
