Understanding the Accounts to Business Units Program

Use the Accounts to Business Units program (P097041) to review all F0901 account master records that do not have:

  • A valid level of detail value (a value that is not equal to 3-9)

  • A valid business unit record

  • A matching company value on the business unit master record

The Accounts to Business Units program displays the same information that is available when you run the Accounts without Business Units report (R097041).

See Understanding the Accounts without Business Units Report.

Use the Accounts to Business Units program to quickly correct the following errors:

  • To correct an invalid level of detail error, navigate to the Review and Revise Accounts program (P0901). Use the Review and Revise Accounts program to enter a valid level of detail in the Account Level of Detail field.

  • To correct an invalid business unit error, navigate to the Review and Revise Accounts program (P0901). Use the Review and Revise Accounts program to enter a valid business unit in the Business Unit field.

    You can add a valid business unit or change the company on a business unit by selecting Update Business Unit from the Form menu to access the Business Unit Master program (P0006).

  • To correct a company mismatch error, navigate to the Review and Revise Accounts program (P0901). Use the Review and Revise Accounts program to update the F0901 record with the company value in the Business Unit Master table (F0006).

    Alternately, you can select Update Company from the Form menu. The system updates the company value on the account master to match the value stored on the business unit master. When you select Update Company, the system updates all records with a company mismatch error.

    Note: If there are no company mismatch errors, the system does not display the Update Company selection on the Form menu.

The information that is displayed in the Accounts to Business Units program is stored in the Accounts to Business Units table (F097041W). When you close the program, the system deletes this information.
