Setting Up AAIs for General Accounting

The name of an automatic accounting instructions (AAI) item, such as GLG, is hard coded. Each AAI item includes a general ledger account that consists of a business unit, object, and subsidiary, and is mapped to your chart of accounts.

In the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Accounting system, AAIs determine how to distribute general ledger entries that the system generates. The AAIs in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Accounting system are used to define:

• General purpose accounts

• Retained earnings

• Financial statement totals

• Speed codes

• Account summarization

• Reconcilable ranges

• Prior year account purges

Information about AAI items is stored in the Automatic Accounting Instructions Master table (F0012).
