This utility creates new accounts from an existing fund/fiscal year combination. Before an account class can be created in this utility, the fund must be created using either the Mass Change Account Codes utility or by adding the fund/fiscal year to the Fund tab in the Account Code table.

These new accounts may carry over balance sheet account balances (accounts 1XXX-3XXX) from the previous fiscal year if selected. When processed for previously created balance sheet accounts, the account balance is updated. If the account already has a balance, the program adds another entry for the amount being transferred. The balancing entry for the fund, if needed, will be to the account whose object is the actual fund balance object code from the Fund tab in the Account Code table in file ID C. If a budgetary fund balance amount is transferred, the amount may need to be moved. When carrying totals forward and the next and current accounting periods exist in the file ID copied from (i.e., transactions exist in the current and next accounting periods for the file ID copied from), the next accounting period amounts are transferred to the file ID copied to regardless of which accounting period is chosen for posting.
