The Chart document is used to define the valid charts that make up the high-level structure of the OLE Chart of Accounts. It also indicates who has management responsibilities for each chart and which object codes are used for system-generated accounting lines for the chart.
Accounts and object codes are specific to each chart. These are represented in OLE by a two character code. OLE sample data shows “IU” as the University Chart Code, with “BL” as the sample chart relating to our sample Campus Code “BL” and sample budgets, organization, and account structures (including object codes).
 |
The Chart document includes the Edit Chart tab. The system automatically enters data into both the Old and New sections. Selected data fields are available for editing.

Note
The object codes on the Chart of Accounts table are optional because object codes have chart as part of their primary key. Completion of the object code fields is vital to the system performing properly, and these fields should be completed immediately after object codes are set up for the new chart.
Note
In the demo and test environments; it is NOT recommended to edit existing Chart structures in OLE sample data, however users can add notes, change the description, or copy to create a new Chart based on an existing chart. Lookups can be used to search for valid Object Codes (but please do not change object codes on the IU or BL Charts).
