Accounting Sets

Map your financial data to the Accounting Subledger data model using accounting sets, and configure settings for each set to generate transaction journal records.

Note Starting in March 2023, Salesforce offers Accounting Subledger built on the core Salesforce platform. This article provides information about that product. For information about the managed packaged version of Accounting Subledger, see Accounting Subledger Legacy Documentation. If you're not sure which version your institution uses, check with your Salesforce administrator.

• Object Models for Accounting Sets
  Accounting sets enable you to specify which objects and fields store your source data and how to generate transaction journal records from it. It's a flexible approach that lets you map your financial data model to a logical data model, supporting from one to four objects, including the Fund Account object. Each accounting set represents a set of financial data, such as revenue from gifts or expenses from fees.
• Map Your Source Data to Accounting Sets
  Choose which source record fields to use for transaction journal records generation by mapping them to accounting set fields.
• Configure Accounting Set Settings
  After you map source fields to accounting set destination fields, configure how Accounting Subledger generates transaction journal records for each accounting set.
• Create Accounting Field Mappings
  Generate financial data beyond the default transaction journal record fields with accounting field mappings.
• Manage Accounting Sets
  When you're done configuring accounting sets, activate them. After you do so, you can no longer change the object model but you can deactivate it in order to update its other settings.
• Considerations for Deleting or Merging Primary Object Records
  Deleting or merging records used as primary objects in accounting sets doesn't trigger reversals.
• Accounting Set Example Configurations
  Review recommended accounting set mappings for common use cases.
