Setting Up AAIs for Sales Order Management

Access the Account Revisions form.

G/L Cat (general ledger category)

Enter a code from UDC 41/9 that identifies the general ledger offset that system uses when it searches for the account to which it posts the transaction. If you do not want to specify a class code, you can enter **** (four asterisks) in this field.

You can use AAIs to predefine classes of automatic offset accounts for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management systems. You might assign general ledger class codes as follows:

  • IN20: Direct Ship Orders

  • IN60: Transfer Orders

  • IN80: Stock Sales

The system can generate accounting entries based upon a single transaction. For example, a single sale of a stock item can trigger the generation of accounting entries similar to the following:

  • Sales-Stock (Debit) xxxxx.xx

  • A/R Stock Sales (Credit) xxxxx.xx

  • Posting Category: IN80

  • Stock Inventory (Debit) xxxxx.xx

  • Stock COGS (Credit) xxxxx.xx

The system uses the class code and the document type to find the AAI.

Branch Plant

Enter an alphanumeric code that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track costs. For example, a business unit might be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, branch, or plant.

If you leave this field blank, the system uses the branch plant based on the G/L Account Business Unit processing option setting in the Sales Update program (R42800).

Obj Acct (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.

Note: If you use a flexible chart of accounts and the object account is set to six digits, Oracle recommends that you use all six digits. For example, entering 000456 is different than entering 456 because if you enter 456 the system enters three blank spaces to fill a 6-digit object.
Sub (subsidiary)

Enter a subset of an object account. Subsidiary accounts include detailed records of the accounting activity for an object account.
