Accounts flow
An Accounts Flow refers to the movement of financial transactions in and out of a particular account over a specific period of time. It tracks the changes in the account's balance, reflecting all the transactions that have been recorded in that account.
In Financial Consolidation, flows are linked to accounts on the Accounts X Flows page. This page contains a list of all available class accounts that were created in the Chart of Accounts to which you can link flows.
In addition to linking a flow to an account class, you can also review the existing links between accounts and flows.
To access the Accounts X Flows page, click Configuration > System Structures > Flows > Accounts X Flows.
