Split-up accounts

You can split up accounts in the Trial Balance to better control account data throughout the engagement.

To split up accounts:

1. On the ribbon, click Account | Trial Balance.
2. In the Account worksheet, click ... next to the account number you want to split. The Split-up Accounts dialog displays.
3. Select the period date sequence for the split-up account from the drop-down menu (split-up accounts can have their own period balances).
4. In the Account No. column, enter an account number for the split-up account. For example, if you're splitting account 403, you could use 403.1 as the split-up account number.
5. In the Name column, enter a name for the split-up account. If required, click ... to enter an extended description.
6. Complete the remaining columns as required.
7. Ensure that the combined balances of the split-up accounts matches the original balance of the account. Click Close.

The account is split up and the ... next to the account number now displays as +.

If the split-up account(s) become unbalanced, or if any changes have been made to the file that effect the account, a warning icon displays (). To clear the warning, review the balances and make any changes if necessary.
