Add Target and Offset Accounts

In Ledger Item Editor's My Transfers view, you can add the target and offset account for a transfer category to a ledger transfer profile using the New Target and Offset Values option. The New Target and Offset Values option allows you to add a Transfer Category/Target Account/Offset Account row to the left grid in the ledger transfer profile you are editing. You can set up a new row for a transfer category with the appropriate target and offset account if the default transfers provided by Eagle do not meet your business needs. 

To add the target and offset account for a transfer category: 

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. On the Ledger Item Editor tab, in the Target and Offset group, click New Target and Offset Values. 
   You see a new row at the bottom of the left grid. The new row contains blank values.

3. 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
   - Available for Sale
   - Available for Sale at Cost
   - Fair Value Option
   - Fair Value - OCI
   - Fair Value - Profit and Loss
   - Held for Trading
   - Held to Maturity
   - Loans and Receivables
   - Other
   - STAR Default

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Continue to add the source accounts for the new target account.
