Options

1. Enter the View Number to be used for Cost Analyzer balance retrieval.

Specify a number from 1 to 10 that specifies how the system posts records from the Account Ledger table (F0911) to the Cost Analyzer Balances table (F1602). This number also specifies which managerial accounting posting code (PM01 - PM10) in the F0911 table to update as posted. For example, if the view number is 1, then the system updates PM01 with a P when the F0911 record is marked as being posted.

2. Enter the Account Level of Detail to be used (3 - 9). If left blank, 9 will be defaulted.

Specify a number used to summarize and classify accounts in the general ledger by level of detail. Level 9 is the most detailed and Level 1 is the least detailed. Levels 1 and 2 are reserved for company and business unit totals. Levels 8 and 9 are reserved for job cost posting accounts in the Job Cost system. Examples of the other levels are:

3: Assets, Liabilities, Revenues, Expenses

4: Current Assets, Fixed Assets, Current Liabilities

5: Cash, Accounts Receivable, Inventories, Salaries

6: Petty Cash, Cash in Banks, Trade Accounts Receivable

7: Petty Cash - Dallas, Petty Cash - Houston

8: More Detail

9: More Detail

Do not skip levels of detail when you assign a level of detail to an account. Nonsequential levels of detail cause rollup errors in financial reports.

3. Enter default value for Business unit. If left blank, Business Unit will default to *.

Specify an alphanumeric code that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track costs. For example, a business unit might be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, branch, or plant.

You can assign a business unit to a document, entity, or person for purposes of responsibility reporting. For example, the system provides reports of open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business unit to track equipment by responsible department.

Business unit security might prevent you from viewing information about business units for which you have no authority.

4. Enter the default value for Ledger Type 1 and Ledger Type 2. If left blank, Ledger Type 1 will default to Ledger Type AA and Ledger Type 2 will default to blank.

Specifies (09/LT) the type of ledger, such as AA (Actual Amounts), BA (Budget Amount), or AU (Actual Units). You can set up multiple, concurrent accounting ledgers within the general ledger to establish an audit trail for all transactions.
