Auto-generates new G/L accounts by cloning another selection or range of accounts.
Text
Accounts: Enter the selection or range of accounts to clone from.
Target: Select the account division or divisions of the new chart of accounts you wish to create. For example, if you wish to generate a new department then add a target and specify the department within.
Each account division (branch, department, minor account, etc.) must already exist within G/L Setup before you can auto-generate a chart of account. It is suggested you do a file save before running in case you generate the wrong accounts.
