Configure the ledger that you want to use as the client's financial data source. The financial data source establishes a link between Client Accounting and the client's general ledger data.

If a financial data source isn't configured for a client, the following message is displayed on the Client Accounting > Trial Balance/Workpapers tab:

Client Accounting remembers the data source in following years, so you only need to configure once per client. When the client sends through a new company file, the old file is updated and replaced. You only need to change the data source if the underlying ledger is a new file. For example, if after working with MAS this year, the accountant decides to work directly over an AccountRight file in the next year.

To configure a ledger

  1. In AE/AO, open a client and go to the Client Accounting > Trial Balance/Workpapers) tab.
  2. On the TASKS bar, click Edit Configuration Details. The Client Configuration window appears.

  3. From the Product drop-down, select MAS, Accounts or AO Classic GL.

  4. Click the Data connection details field ellipsis (ellipses), select a MAS, Accounts or AO Classic general ledger to configure.

    You can search for a MAS, Accounts or AO Classic general ledger by entering the ledger code or, part of the ledger name.

    Click OK and click OK again. The ledger is configured to Client Accounting and the ledger details are displayed in the right-hand pane of the Trial Balance/Workpapers tab.
