Reprocessing Returns through G/L Bridge

If you process your return with G/L Bridge Client Selection importing from CCH® ProSystem fx® Engagement, you can use Quiklink to process non-extensive accounting system changes to your client’s data. However, if the changes are extensive or your accounting system does not support Quiklink, you must reprocess the return with G/L Bridge File Selection.

Warning!: Importing via G/L Bridge removes data placed on Partnership A-series entities higher than 1. After importing, you must review Entities 2 and greater, and then re-enter any data removed by the import process.

Reprocessing returns through G/L Bridge can produce different results depending on whether the accounting system you are importing from includes tax code identifiers. Click a link below to learn more about how G/L Bridge handles different types of accounting systems. For information about the accounting systems that use tax identifiers, see G/L Bridge Accounting Systems Processing Profiles.

Note: After reprocessing a return through G/L Bridge when the Import beginning balance sheet data box was not checked, double-check your balance sheet detail data to make sure there are no duplicate detail data items resulting from data descriptions being slightly different between the return and the revised interface file.
