Add Source Interface Values for Non-Standard Accounting Bases

Eagle Accounting provides source interface values for standard accounting bases, such as USTAX, GAAP, and STAT. If you want to transfer accounting data for entities with non-standard accounting bases, you must add source interface values for each non-standard accounting basis. The database tables in Eagle PACE use the source interface value to join to the accounting basis associated with an entity.

To add a source interface for an accounting basis:

  1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Setup > Admin > STAR to PACE Maintenance > Add Source Interface.
    You see the Add Source Interface panel. 

    Add Source Interface panel
  2. Complete the fields on the panel.

  3. Click Submit.
    The source interface is available for use by the system.
