2. In the ‘Source’ field, enter the source code for the account.
• The source code determines the tab on which the posting account appears (General, Contra, Payroll, etc.).

3. Enter the department for the account in the ‘Department’ field. The department is usually ’00’ for asset and liability offsets. For payroll earnings and other expense offsets, the branch number (the last two digits of the first half of the G/L number) should be used.

4. In the ‘G/L Account #’ field, enter the first six digits of the General Ledger account number for this posting account. Then move to the next field and enter the second six digits of the account number.
• To search for a G/L account number, click the Search icon to the right of the field.

5. Click ‘Accept.’ The posting account is added to the appropriate tab and the window remains open.
• Click ‘Cancel’ before clicking ‘Accept’ to close the window without creating the account.
• To delete the account, access it on the window and click the ‘Delete’ button. Then confirm the deletion by clicking ‘Yes.’

6. Repeat steps 2-5 until all posting accounts are added to the listing.

7. Click ‘Cancel’ to close the window.
