Locating Account Information from the AAI

When you process a transaction that requires the system to record information to the general ledger, it searches for each part of the flexible account number. This table describes the search hierarchies:

Account Segment

Search Hierarchy

Business Unit

To locate the business unit, the system:

  1. Searches for the business unit in the AAI.

  2. If no business unit has been defined in the AAI, the system uses the flexible format business unit that you define.

  3. If no flexible format business unit exists, the system uses the business unit that you specify through the processing options of the Sales Update program (R42800).

Subsidiary Account

To locate the subsidiary account, the system:

  1. Searches for a subsidiary account that has been defined in the AAI.

  2. If no subsidiary account has been defined in the AAI, the system uses the flexible format subsidiary account that you define.

Subledger

To locate the subledger, the system:

  1. Searches for the subledger account that you specified in sales order detail.

  2. If no subledger account has been specified in sales order detail, the system uses the flexible format subledger account that you define.

  3. If no flexible format subledger account exists, the system uses the subledger that you specify through the processing options of the R42800 program.

If you have set up the appropriate processing options in the R42800 program, the system searches for flexible account information.
