Understanding General Ledger Class Codes

General ledger (GL) class codes are used by the AAIs to determine which accounts the system posts transactions to for specific items.

You set up the GL class code in the Item Master and the Branch/Plant program (P41026). When you associate the item with the item location, the system copies that value to the Item Location table (F41021). You can revise the GL class code for an item using the Location Revisions program. The AAIs retrieve the appropriate GL class code from the Item Location table.

Because the system generates journal entries based on GL class codes and AAIs, you should set up the class codes carefully and in collaboration with the accounting department.
