Map the Retained Earnings account(s)
During each database build, Phocas takes all Profit & Loss (P&L) transactions and maps them to a Balance Sheet account. By default, this account is the system Retained Earnings account, which might have been set during your implementation. You can update this mapping or choose to distribute the P&L transactions across multiple accounts.
To change the mapped account(s):
Click the Settings button > Retained Earnings in the top-right corner.
Choose whether to map to one account or multiple accounts:
One account: Select an account from the list or enter an account code. If left blank, the system will use the default Retained Earnings account.
Multiple accounts: Select the dimension, such as Company, to which to allocate the P&L transactions. Then map each dimension entity to an account by selecting from the list or entering an account code. If left blank, the system will use the default Retained Earnings account for that dimension entity.
Select one of these options:
Click Save and close to save your changes without triggering a database build. Your changes will take effect on the next database build.
Click Build Now to rebuild the database immediately and apply your changes. After a successful build, you’ll receive a message asking you to refresh the page, and then you’ll see the new dimensions.
