Accounting

Select the Accounting tab.

Project Cost Center

Enter the business unit from an account number. The account number business unit is usually found in the data item MCU. However, distribution systems use the field MCU as the branch.

Object Account

Enter the portion of a general ledger account that refers to the division of the Cost Code (for example, labor, materials, and equipment) into subcategories. For example, you can divide the Cost Code for labor into regular time, premium time, and burden.

If you use a flexible chart of accounts and the object account is set to six digits, you should use all six digits. For example, entering 000456 is different from entering 456 because if you enter 456, the system enters three blank spaces to fill a six-digit object.

Subledger Type

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

A: Alphanumeric field, do not edit.

N: Numeric field, right justify and zero fill.

C: Alphanumeric field, right justify and blank fill.

Account ID (account identification)

Enter a number that the system assigns to each general ledger account in the F0901 table to uniquely identify it.

Ledger Type

Enter a UDC (09/LT) that specifies the type of ledger, such as AA (Actual Amounts), BA (Budget Amount), or AU (Actual Units). You can set up multiple, concurrent accounting ledgers within the general ledger to establish an audit trail for all transactions.

Sales Order Status 16

Select to indicate that the Variance Journal Entries program (R31804) creates a record.
