Setup

Seting up AccountingBook comprises of two parts

  1. Import Data
    1. GL Account
    2. Item List

Importing Data

Data import can be done either using Data Loader or Import Wizard. For most situations, Import Wizard works in case you don't have heirarchies in GL Account or Item list.

After adding your GL Accounts (Chart of Accounts), you might want to add hierarchy or the parent-child relationship to the accounts. For that you will need to export the GL Accounts data to the CSV file and identify the SalesForce ID. The second step is to identify the SalesForce IDs of the Parent accounts to map those to the Child accounts. Insert Parent Account IDs next to the Child Account Names in the CSV file by V-lookup operation. Once you have the IDs of the Parent Accounts in CSV, you can perform the update operations on GL Accounts and map those respective parent accounts using Data Loader.

...

Once the GL Accounts are loaded into the AccountingBook, the default accounts needs to be defined to get the correctness in the entries. To do so follow the below steps

Info
titleCommon Issues Found

If the Account Name/s are not reflected in the dropdown list, the reason might be that the spelling of the Account is incorrect. While importing the GL Accounts through the Data Loader if the defaults accounts are spelled correctly then those accounts are to be automatically reflected in the dropdown menu, else you need to manually rename the Account names.
