  • Selected the Account Number and Entity share same field but are not separated check box.
  • Cleared the Assign entity through divisional profile check box.

In the Assign Entity page the unassigned accounts appear in the left pane and the entities appear in the right.

Lists all accounts in the chart of accounts that are not currently assigned. Select the numbers that you want to assign and then select the destination in the Numbers box before clicking the Assign button.

To show current year or prior year balances or extended descriptions for the accounts, right-click and the select the option to display.

Lists all existing map, group or leadsheet numbers, tax or GIFI codes and the assigned accounts, arranged in a tree structure. Those numbers with accounts assigned to them appear with a Plus button . To view accounts assigned, click the Plus button.

Accounts can be dragged from one map, group or leadsheet number to another without unassigning them first. To unassign an account, select the account here and click Unassign (the Map button automatically changes to an Unassign button).
