Dynalink between Engagement and Tax is broken

There’re two places to look into. One in Tax and the other in Engagement.

 

 

In Tax program:

Options/Interface options/Accounting Bridges, highlight Engagement, click ‘Configure’, and make sure the Accounting system path is ‘C:\Pfx Engagement\WM’.

 

 

In Engagement:

With the binder highlighted, go to Tools, Tax software interface, make sure ‘TB Datase’ and ‘ProSystem fx Tax (Dynalink)’ is selected. Once you click ok, you should be able to follow the wizard to export to Tax software. Please see the detailed steps below,

 

 

To export a trial balance to Dynalink, do the following:

1. If the Binder window is active, select Tools/Tax Software Interface. If the File Room Window is active, highlight the client's binder and then select Tools/Tax Software Interface.

2. If more than one trial balance exists in the binder, select the trial balance from the Trial balance drop-down list.

3. Select ProSystem fx Tax (Dynalink) in the Tax software field.

4. Select the tax year from the drop-down list.

5. The Beginning date defaults to January 1, yyyy (where yyyy is the year of the Binder Properties Period 1 beginning date). To change the date, use the drop-down list to select another date from the calendar.

6. The Ending date defaults to December 31, yyyy (where yyyy is the year of the Binder Properties Period 1 ending date). To change the date, use the drop-down list to select another date from the calendar.

7. To export data for the prior year, check the Export prior year box. (Current year data is always exported.)

8. Select the ProSystem fx grouping list for the tax entity of the trial balance you are exporting.

9. Select the view containing the balance column you are exporting from the View list.

10. Select the Balance column containing the amounts you want to export from the Balance drop-down list. (Only current period columns are included in the list.)

11. Enter the client's Federal Employer Identification Number in the Employer ID # box. This number is used as the Employer ID Number in the tax return as well as the client code for building the client list when you configure ProSystem fx Engagement as an accounting bridge in ProSystem fx Tax. Be sure to enter a unique FEIN for each trial balance.

12. The Save as default for this trial balance is checked by default.

13. Click OK. If there are any ungrouped accounts or tax groups not supported by ProSystem fx Tax, the Tax Report dialog will display listing the accounts or groups. You can click Print to print the report, Save As to save the report as an .HTM file, or Close to exit the dialog.

Workpaper references and comments have disappeared from the TB Report

I entered workpaper references and comments in blank columns in my TB Report. I have since done some additional work and now all my workpaper references and comments have disappeared from the TB Report. Why?

When changes are made to the Account Grouping order, all rows in the TB Report are deleted and re-inserted in the proper order. When this occurs, manually entered data in the TB Reports is deleted along with the row. If an account is assigned to a different group, only the applicable row is deleted and re-inserted.

TB Report Guidelines

What changes can I make to a TB Report?

Documentation within TB Reports.  Reference trial balance amounts within Engagement's TB Reports for efficiency and to minimize the risk of typing over numbers in the TB Database.  Engagement's TB Reports (e.g. Lead Schedules, Trial Balance Reports, Journal Entry Reports, etc.) are dynamic and linked to the TB Database.  Therefore, these reports change as changes occur in the TB Database.  Although TB Reports are in Microsoft® Excel format, they are not standard Microsoft® Excel workpapers and must be used accordingly to avoid undesired workpaper changes.  Use the following guidelines when marking up trial balance reports:

• Account Grouping List.  Ensure that all building and grouping/mapping within the account grouping list is completed prior to documenting and/or marking up the related TB Reports.  Subsequent changes to the account grouping list may cause undesirable changes in workpaper documentation and/or mark up.  If a change in an account grouping list is necessary, "publish" the affected TB Report(s) prior to making the change.  Use the published copy, or picture copy, as a reference or the workpaper documentation and mark up existing prior to the account grouping list change.  Use copy/paste to efficiently transfer documentation and mark ups from the published copy of the TB Report, to actual TB Report if required.


• Hide/Unhide Rows and Columns.  Do not hide or unhide any rows or columns with TB Reports.


• Add/Delete Rows.  Do not add or delete rows within TB Reports as it can cause file corruption.


• Add/Delete Columns.  Columns may be added for additional workpaper references and tickmarks.  To avoid the risk of permanently deleting a column that is crucial to the TB Report, NEVER delete a column unless it was manually added by the user.


• Available Columns.  All unhidden, empty columns, with no header descriptions are available for documentation and mark ups.


• Available Rows.  Place all notes, summarizations, conclusions, comments, explanatory tickmark explanations, and descriptions below the linked trial balance data, two rows below the bottom-most total row.  Regardless of changes made in the related account grouping list, this documentation, and mark up will remain.


• Formatting.  Do not apply formatting changes to TB Reports, as most changes will not be saved.  Even though it is possible to change the formatting of the available cells in the rows and columns mentioned above, avoid all formatting changes within TB Reports for efficiency purposes.
