The Source Of GL Accounts On Financial Transactions

The following is a summary of the source of GL accounts on financial transactions:

If a bill segment has a financial effect, the distribution code to debit comes from the distribution code on the obligation type; the distribution code to credit comes from the rate component(s) used to calculate the bill segment.
Payment segments always have a financial effect; the distribution code to debit comes from the bank account on the tender source of the tender control of the tender, the distribution code to credit comes from the obligation type.
For adjustments that have a financial effect, refer to Adjustment Type Defines the GL Account for more information.

The following table lists some examples of financial events, their standard accounting, and the source of distribution codes used to derive the GL accounts sent to your general ledger.
