client via email, click the Advanced Properties button and enter 
your client’s email address in the E-mail address field. 
7.  Click the General Ledger tab and verify the information on this tab. 
Verify that the Chart of Accounts mask is appropriate. CBS does not 
allow the client to change the mask, and the client will not be able to 
add accounts that do not fit the mask.

Notes  
ƒ  CBS version 2006.2.0 or higher supports the same Chart of 
Accounts mask that CSA supports. Note, however, that CBS 
versions prior to 2006.2.0 can accept only numeric GL accounts 
of up to 11 characters (including a single decimal) for the 
account mask. The CBS mask can have no more than 4 Ls or Ds 
for locations / departments and no more than 3 Cs to the right of 
the decimal. 
ƒ  Make sure you have set up an “Undistributed Amounts” account 
(CSA automatically sets this up as account 999 when you create 
the client). The client can then use this account during data entry 
if the correct account number is not known. In general, you 
would not want to make this account the same as your 
“suspense” or “holding” account, if present.
