Edit Target and Offset Accounts

In Ledger Item Editor's My Transfers view, you can edit an existing transfer category, target account, and offset account for a ledger transfer profile using the Update Target and Offset Values option. The Update Target and Offset Values option allows you to change a Transfer Category/Target Account/Offset Account row in the left grid for the ledger transfer profile you are editing. Changing the transfer category, target account, and offset account values does not affect the source accounts previously associated with the Transfer Category/Target Account/Offset Account grouping.

To edit the transfer category, target accounting and offset account grouping: 

1. In Ledger Item Editor's My Transfers view, review the ledger transfer profile that you are editing. 
   The left grid shows each transfer category for the target account to which you are transferring the ledger balances, along with the offset account. The right grid shows the source accounts to close out at year end for the selected transfer category/target account row. 

2. In the left grid, click the row of the Transfer Category/Target Account/Offset Account entry that you want to edit.
   You see the related source accounts in the right grid.

3. On the Ledger Item Editor tab, in the Target and Offset group, click Update Target and Offset Values. 
   The system displays a down arrow in the active cell. 

4. If you want to edit the transfer category, in the Transfer Category cell, click the down arrow and select the ledger chart of accounts category associated with the transfer. 
   Options include:
   - Amortized Cost

5. If you want to edit the target account, double-click the Target Account cell, and click the down arrow. 
   The target account is the account to which the system posts the results of the rolled up source accounts during a year end closeout. You see a list of ledger account numbers and descriptions. You can type several characters if you want the system to highlight the account number or account description you type and/or to advance the selected row to one with the text you entered.

6. Click an account number and description from the list. 
    You see the selected account number in the Target Account cell. When you click the next option, the Offset Account, you see the Target Account description that corresponds to the selected account number.

7. If you want to edit the offset account, double-click the Offset Account cell, and click the down arrow. 
   The offset account is the ledger account that the system uses for the contra posting. You see a list of ledger account numbers and descriptions. You can type several characters if you want the system to highlight the account number or account description you type and/or to advance the selected row to one with the text you entered.

8. Click an account number and description from the list.
   For example, you select 9999999999 Currency contra account. You see the selected account number in the Target Account cell. When you click the next option, you see the account description that corresponds to the selected account number for the offset account. Otherwise, you can click the cell to display the description.

9. Continue to edit the source account ranges for the target account.
