Posted on by Gabriel Steuernagel

Hello everyone!

I have been searching some information about the Related Accounts option (Offset Account and Opening Account) in D365 F&O: General Ledger > Chart of Accounts > Accounts > Main Accounts but couldn't find any consistent information discribing the option.

I would very much like to know what are its use, in wich situation one would fill that option in the form and any other general information about this field.

I searched in other forums and Microsoft Learn documents but I did not find any info about this topic.

Is it used to pre-set an offset account when selecting a specific account on a journal?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Gabriel,

As Osman said, there is lot of documentation and blogs from previous versions that could be very helpful.

- The Offset account helps you to default it (the offset account) when you enter a journal.

- The Opening account is for year end closing process to define the account to move or transfer to when creating the opening journal.

I hope it helps.

Best regards

HI,

Please refer the below link:

Main accounts - chart of accounts (form) | Microsoft Docs

- The Offset account helps you to default it (the offset account) when you enter a journal.

Enter the account to which the opening balance should be transferred.

When you select an account and then run the Opening transactions periodic job for a new fiscal year, the balance of the current account is transferred to the account that is specified in this field.

Thanks,

Sheela
