Predecessor/Successor Relationships

The Predecessor/Successor Accounts information area displays all predecessor and/or successor UI Account/RUN numbers for the active account. Predecessor accounts display a "P" in the P/S column and successor accounts display an "S". The information area also displays the account's source, post date, and transfer date. If an account has numerous predecessor and successor accounts, you can display only the desired type by clicking the [Predecessors] button or the [Successors] button. Display all the accounts again by clicking the [Show All] button. You can navigate/activate a predecessor or successor account by double-clicking on the account in the Predecessor/Successor Accounts area.

Example: In the figure below, the active account, highlighted in red, is 0000000001 RUN 00000. This account's predecessor is 0000000007 RUN 00009 and it's successor is 0000000023 RUN 00000. Double-clicking on either the predecessor or successor account will activate and display that account as the currently selected account.
