Enabling the Multi-Book Accounting Feature

Budgets and Balances are not supported by Multi-Book Accounting. To enable the Multi-Book Accounting feature, you must ensure your reporting balances are configured to be updated when creating transactions, instead of the budgets and balances. Manually go to the Balance Configuration tab and select Update Reporting Balances when creating Transactions.

Any users who post documents to Accounting need to have at least "View" access to the Multi-Book Accounting feature. Manually go to Permission Sets and assign the Accounting - Multi-Book permission set to all relevant users.

You must manually create your accounting books. An org must have one primary and one or more adjustment books. See Creating Accounting Books for more information about how to create your accounting books.

You must manually add the Accounting Book field to the page layouts for the Transaction and Journal objects.

To update the page layouts in Classic view:

1. From Setup click Object Manager | <object> | Page Layouts or Search Layouts.
2. Click the layout that you want to update.
3. Drag the Accounting Book field from the palette to an appropriate location on the layout.
4. Click Save.

To update the page layouts in Custom Input Forms:

1. From Setup click Input Form Manager.
2. Add the Accounting Book field to the relevant Input and View forms.

Multi-Book Accounting is only supported by the latest version of Currency Revaluation. If you want to use both the Multi-Book Accounting and Currency Revaluation features, you must ensure you enable the "Accounting Currency Translation" feature in your Feature Console.

If you have Einstein Analytics Datasets, Einstein Reports and Dashboards, Salesforce Reports or Reporting Definitions that use Certinia data, you must manually update them so that:

• They take into account the new Accounting Book field
• Relevant filters can be added to report on the correct combination of Accounting Books

Ensure that you:

1. Manually update the relevant Einstein Analytics Datasets by adding the Accounting Book field. Then update your Einstein Analytics Reports and Dashboards by adding the Accounting Book filters. For more information on how to update your Reports and Dashboards, see About Business Analytics.
2. Manually update the relevant Salesforce Reports by adding new Accounting Book filters. For more information on how to update your Salesforce Reports, see the Salesforce Help.
3. Manually update the relevant Reporting Definitions in Certinia Reporting by adding new Accounting Book filters. For more information on how to update your Reporting Definitions, see Reporting Definitions Home.
