G/L Cross Reference Accounts


Path: Setup > Cross References


Cross reference mapping can be defined when there is a need to translate one GL account number from an outside system to a different GL number in SGA. Cross reference accounts are used when importing files from systems like payroll, membership or the like. 


Format: A unique name to identify a set of cross reference numbers. Multiple formats can be created as needed. The account mapping can be defined differently within each set.


Reference: The item from the outside source that gets assigned to a particular chart of account number.

G/L Reference: A description of the old reference number. This is an optional item and used only to help in being able to search for accounts by the description used in the external system

Account#: The SGA chart of the account number that the item gets applied to.

SGA Description: Description of the SGA Account (auto-populated)
