    Provided the directory selected contains a master pack, the nominal chart and associated data will be updated, otherwise you will be informed that the installation cannot proceed, and the process will abort. Repeat the above process on each company master pack present on the system.

    Note: when we issue pack updates they will contain the original chart and you will need to repeat this procedure to update them to the CCH Accounts Production chart so please retain the installation EXE for future use

    The CCH Accounts Production chart This installation contains a chart of accounts designed to match the chart used in CCH Accounts Production and allows a one step transfer of data both from and to that program. The audit programmes, checklists and planning schedules remain exactly the same as those supplied in the standard packs, as set out in the Master Audit Pack manual. The CCH chart is based on a 4 digit alphanumeric code in the following format:

    Where999Z
    9 = a number from 1 to 9
    Z = a character indicating the last nominal in a range

    CCH Audit Automation uses a number from 0 to 999,999 to identify accounts and hence a standard conversion formula has been used to convert each CCH code to an account number in Audit Automation. Using this formula it will be possible for you to calculate the correct account number to create to match any new codes that you add for a CCH client. This will ensure that the new accounts appear in the correct logical section in the audit file. The formula is as follows:

    Accounts ProductionAudit Automation 
    Characters 1 to 3000 to 99900 to 99
    Character 40 to Z0 to 9
    Examples:00100010
    788Z7889 

    For any new accounts that you add ensure that you enter the CCH Accounts Production code in the Alpha Code field for the account and that you allocate the account to the correct classification and category.
