Use Mass Maintenance to move balances by period from one account to another or merge balances by period from multiple accounts into a single account. The moved/merged balances are added to the existing balances in your target accounts. If you change your mind about a move/merge, you can reverse it and restore your account balances to their previous amounts.
If you use ledger sets, you can move/merge balances for multiple ledgers in a ledger set.
During a move/merge operation the financial integrity between General Ledger and its subledgers is maintained, so you can still drill down to your subledger details after the move/merge is complete.
Note: To drill down, perform an account inquiry from the move/merge target account. From there, you can drill down to the move/merge source account, then to the subledger detail.
You can also use Mass Maintenance's mass creation feature to create new accounts automatically based on existing accounts. For example, if you add a new cost center to your organization you can use mass creation to create all the accounts you need by modeling one of your other cost centers.
Data Access Sets
The move/merge operation adheres to data access set security. The data access set assigned to your responsibility must provide full ledger access in order to execute a move/merge operation. Full ledger access means having full read and write access to the ledger and all of its balancing segment values or management segment values.
