There are two different ways to define financial entities: Wildcard (option W) or Range (option R). The option you use to define financial entities is a personal preference. Click one of the following for a definition and examples:
A wildcard is an asterisk (*). For example, 2** tells the system to include all subaccounts starting with a 2, and 21* tells the system to include all subaccounts starting with a 21.
Let's say you are defining the following entities:
Entity 100 is for store 1
Entity 200 is for store 2
Entity 300 is for store 3
Entity 400 is the consolidation of stores 1, 2, and 3
