Conversion tables are used in internal data transfer. By default, the source units, accounts, periods, and document series are also used as the target units, accounts, and so on. If you want to transfer data to different accounts, document series, periods, or units, you must use conversion tables. The following default conversion tables are available:
•Account conversion table for the Opening Balance Transfer task: Account conversions for opening balance transfer, other than internal transactions (ID: AccountsOpeningBalanceFAS, Type: Account)
•Period conversion table for the Opening Balance Transfer task: Period conversion for opening balance transfer (ID: PeriodsOpeningBalance, Type: Period)
•Account conversion table for the Opening Balance Transfer, Internal Items task: Account conversions for opening balance transfer, internal transactions (ID:AccountsOpeningBalanceInterFAS, Type: Account)
•Document series conversion table for the Cash Flow Opening Documents task: Document series conversions for creating cash flow opening balance entries (ID: DocumentsCfOpeningBalanceFAS, Type: Document series)
Conversion tables are maintained in the Conversion Tables view. The default conversion tables can be edited if necessary, but remember to document all customer-specific modifications so that they can be taken into account in the next upgrades. Note that when a source account is a sum account, data is transferred from all input accounts under it and there is no need to add all the input accounts of the sum account separately to the conversion table.
