The account workbook
Use the firesys account workbook to integrate data from your consolidation software easily into firesys and to validate it across several files. The account workbook is a convenient way of making a large amount of data to be validated available to all firesys users in the MeetingPoint. Based on an Excel file, it is easy to link data from the consolidation system with the firesys world.

Create an account workbook
In the “*Validation” ribbon, in the “Cross-file validation” group, create an account workbook by using the “Create account workbook” function. The following dialog appears:
Account group
In the drop-down menu you see all account groups that were created previously in the master value manager.
Account workbook
Create new
Here you can select whether additional account values should be assigned to the previously selected account group. If you confirm this selection with “OK”, a new Excel document opens with an empty account workbook.
Read out from MeetingPoint
If you have selected an account workbook from the drop-down menu under “Account group” that already contains account values, you can activate the “Read out from MeetingPoint” function. The dialog expands to the maximum example shown on the right.
Options
Change key date
You can select this option if you want to change a key date of an account value in the previously selected account group. If you confirm this selection with “OK”, an Excel document opens containing all entries of this account value. Here the entry in the “Key date” column is missing, which you can now enter. To apply this key date, in the “*Validation” menu ribbon, in the “Cross-file validation” group, click on the “Apply master value” button or “Status update” to check whether the changes made can be applied.
Key dates
This list area displays all existing key dates from the account group that was selected beforehand in the drop-down menu. You can select the individual key dates or use the “Select all” function to select the entire list and then click on “OK” to open a new Excel document. This document displays the account values corresponding to the key dates that were previously selected. You can assign a new status, new values and/or free text to these account values. To apply these new contents, in the “*Validation” ribbon, in the “Cross-file validation” group, click on the “Apply master value” button or “Status update” to check whether the changes made can be applied.
