Percent or Amount (%, A)

Specify whether the value is a percentage or an amount.

Account Number

Enter a value that identifies an account in the general ledger. Use one of these formats to enter account numbers:

  • Standard account number (business unit.object.subsidiary or flex format).

  • Third GL number (maximum of 25 digits).

  • Account ID number (eight digits).

  • Speed code.

    This is a two-character code that you concatenate to the AAI item SP. You can then enter the code instead of an account number.

The first character of the account number indicates its format. You define the account format in the General Accounting constants.

Pos. Acct. Percent (position account percent)

Enter a percentage of a position account.

Annualized Budget Amount

Enter the salary amount that is budgeted for a particular position within a business unit. This figure, which comes from the Position Master table (F08101), represents the total salary amount budgeted for all of the full-time equivalents (FTEs) within this position for the business unit and year that you specified.

Subledger

Enter a code that identifies a detailed, auxiliary account within a general ledger account. A subledger can be an equipment item number or an address book number. If you enter a subledger, you must also specify the subledger type.

Sub Type

Enter a user-defined code (00/ST) that is used with the Subledger field to identify the subledger type and how the system performs subledger editing. On the Defined Codes form, the second line of the description controls how the system performs editing. This is either hard-coded or defined. Values include:

A: Alphanumeric field, do not edit.

N: Numeric field, right justify and zero fill.

C: Alphanumeric field, right justify and blank fill.
