Working with Advanced Prepay Categories

You can copy and modify advanced categories. You can export the setup information for either the Active Table or All Tables for a specific What If scenario to a CSV or a Microsoft® Excel® file. You can also delete a category or scenario.

Use the category list to select a category to review or modify. Only one category can appear in the table at a time.

Any setup change to a category affects all accounts that are linked to it. If you delete a category, then the Prepayments setting for any affected accounts on the Chart of Accounts page is changed from Prepay Tables to None.

  1. Navigate to Setup > Prepay Tables > Advanced Tables.
  2. Select a What If scenario.
  3. Select a situation and follow the corresponding steps.
