Understanding AAIs in Distribution Systems

The system uses AAIs to determine how to distribute GL entries that the system generates. For example, in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management, AAIs indicate how to record the transaction after you issue inventory from a location.

When you use distribution systems, you must create AAIs for each unique combination of company, transaction, document type, and GL class that you anticipate using. Each AAI is associated with a specific GL account that consists of a business unit, an object, and a subsidiary (optional). You also can enter memo text on the generic text form for each AAI table.

After you review and revise the existing AAIs for the business needs, you might need to set up additional AAI items. The system stores AAIs in the Distribution/Manufacturing - AAI Values table (F4095).
