Many law firms have branch offices. They would like to track the income and costs for each office, while maintaining a combined Income Statement and Balance Sheet for the entire firm. Micro Craft's new Dual Profit Center GL allows you to do this. You can print an Income Statement for Office #1, Office #2 and a combined Income Statement for both.

Setup of GL Account Numbers

All income and expense General Ledger account numbers (4xxxx to 9xxxx) should end in 1 or 2, depending on which office the income or expense belongs to. If an account ends in 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, it will not appear on the Office #1 or #2 income statement but will appear on the combined Income Statement.

The Dual Profit Center GL manual teaches you the naming conventions to use in creating the GL numbers, and how to change your existing GL numbers if you are updating to the Dual Profit Center version of GL 8.0d.
