RQ AAI

You can set up an RQ AAI item to determine the COGS PLA Adjustment Account. The COGS PLA Adjustment Account is the account that stores the COGS adjustment amount during COGS recognition. The system retrieves the COGS PLA Adjustment Account from the AAI item RQXXXX, where XXXX is the G/L offset, from the Customer Master by Line of Business table (F03012).

The system uses the company of the G/L distribution account while searching for the company-specific AAI items. It is not necessary to set up a business unit for this AAI item. If it is not set, then the system uses the business unit of the COGS G/L distribution account. The system does not consider the currency code for COGS PLA adjustment AAI resolution.

Use sequence number 3.551 to set up the RQ AAI item. You must set up the default RQ AAI item for company 00000 and the company-specific AAI items.

The following table illustrates how to set up RQ items:

Review the hierarchical sequence that the system uses to search for the COGS PLA Adjustment Account for customers with a non-blank G/L offset, if there is a G/L line for the revenue account from company 00001:

  • The system searches for AAI item RQXXXX for company 00001.

  • If no AAI is found, the system searches for item RQXXXX for company 00000.

  • If no AAI is found, the system searches for item RQ for company 00001.

  • If no AAI is found, the system searches for item RQ for company 00000.

  • If no AAI is found, the system displays an error.
