Understanding AAIs for Rental Contracts

To bill contracts, you must identify information about the account structure and specific account values to process business transactions properly. You define the account structure and specific account values by using Automatic Accounting Instructions (AAIs). The system stores the AAI values in the Automatic Accounting Instructions table (F06904). Whenever a program performs an accounting function, it accesses the F06904 table.

The system uses Distribution AAIs to determine how to distribute amounts that are associated with general ledger entries that the system generates. For example, in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Rental Management, AAIs indicate how to record the transaction when you bill a rental contract.

The distribution AAI related to rental contracts is 5410 (Rental Contracts). The Account Revisions form of the Distribution AAIs program (P40950) displays each AAI item and information about the document type, general ledger class, and accounts that are affected by transactions.
