Record both monetary and statistical debit and credit amounts. |
A ledger group of at least two ledgers is required in the following scenario. One ledger is dedicated to monetary entries and the other ledger is dedicated to statistical entries.
Access the Create Journal Entries - Lines page (General Ledger, Journals, Journal Entry, Create/Update Journal Entries, Lines).
To debit and credit the statistical account ChartFields, enter the amount based on the UOM that you set up for the account ChartField.
Create a second journal entry for the monetary accounts and amounts associated with the previous statistical journal entry.
When you process these journal entries, the statistical data is posted in the statistical ledger associated with the business unit and the monetary amounts are posted to the appropriate monetary ledgers associated with the business unit.
When you create the journal entry using the statistical ledger and statistical account ChartFields, enter the information for the following fields on the journal line:
