When using the system, it is sometimes necessary to verify the correctness of data in a given area and to carry out operations reconstructing or updating the existing structures.
In order to carry out the reconstruction of accounts, it is necessary to select, from the level of menu Add-ons, button [Account Reconstruction] which is placed in Special Features button group.
It opens Account Reconstruction window which is composed of the following elements:
- Accounting Period– allows for selecting from a drop-down list an accounting period or partial period for which the feature is to be carried out.
- Backup copy has been made – parameter unchecked by default. Checking the parameter is not tantamount to making a physical copy. If the parameter is unchecked, button [Select] is inactive and it is not possible to carry out the operation of account reconstruction.
Trial balance aggregates values for accounts within given accounting/partial period. While adding a journal entry, appropriate values are summed up in aggregations. If trial balance is calculated for an accounting period/partial period, values are read directly from these aggregations, without any recalculations. During the reconstruction, all single-sided entries are analyzed and appropriate recalculations are made. The calculated values replace the current aggregations.
Duration of the reconstruction depends on number of accounts and journal entries.
