Understanding the Cross-Reference Setup for GL Category Cost Groups

You set up GL category cost group cross-references to relate the GL category code to a cost group with a single cost code. Use the GL category cost group cross-reference when you cannot associate a cost group directly with an item. The system directs costs of an item to a cost component. For example, sulphur is an item in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system with a GL category code of IN30. You want to use sulphur as an additive in the blend process. You set up a GL cross-reference to associate IN30 with the Additive cost group, which has a single cost component of addcost to account for the cost of the sulphur.

The system stores GL category cost group cross-references in the GL Category Cost Group Cross-Reference (F31B23) table.
