Enabling Local Chart of Accounts Mapping Setup

This Feature Console page allows you to update the relevant objects and page layouts to categorize transactions for reporting purposes. This is only required if you do not have an existing chart of accounts.

Work through the steps in the order shown. You must complete some steps manually.

  • For each manual step, follow the instructions on screen then click Mark As Done when the step is complete. More information about performing the manual steps is provided below.
  • For each automatic step, click Perform. When the step has completed, the Status changes from "Not Done" to "Done". Allow Use of Local GLAs and update VAT Company, General Ledger Account and User Company Layouts.

When you have completed all the steps, use the Status slider in the Feature section to enable the feature.
