3. Click the Assign button.

OR

1. Select an account in the Unassigned Accounts pane on the left.
2. Click and drag the account to the Entities pane on the right and drop it onto the appropriate entity.

Results

The unassigned accounts will have an assigned entity.

Tips

• To assign multiple accounts in one action by clicking the first account in the range, pressing SHIFT, and clicking the last account in the range.
• To select accounts out of sequence, hold down the CTRL key.
• To change the order of the accounts, click the Number or Name headings.
• If unassigned accounts are left in the pane and you click the Next button, a dialog opens where you have to select a default entity. All unassigned accounts will be assigned to that entity.
• To remove accounts from a map, group or leadsheet number, tax or GIFI code, select the account in the right-hand box and then click Unassign.
• The Balance and Prior Balance columns are hidden when you are importing an ASCII test file or an Excel spreadsheet because the balances have not been calculated yet.
• Accounts cannot be assigned to calculated map numbers. However, the balances of those accounts will display in the dialog for reference purposes. For more information, see Creating calculated map numbers.
