Understanding AAI Setup for Advanced Stock Valuation
AAIs tell the system how to create GL entries for programs that generate automatic journal entries. AAIs are the user-defined link between program functions, the chart of accounts, and financial reporting. AAIs direct transactions to the appropriate general ledger accounts.
The system already has AAIs in place. You need to ensure that these AAIs are appropriate for the business needs. You can revise existing AAIs and set up additional AAIs as needed to accommodate growth and change in the business functions and financial reporting. Follow the same setup steps to create a new AAI or to revise an existing AAI.
For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne logistics systems from Oracle, you must create AAIs for each unique combination of company, transaction, document type, and general ledger class that you will use. Each AAI identifies a specific general ledger account consisting of a business unit, an object, and a subsidiary. When the system processes a transaction, it creates accounting entries.
When setting up each AAI item, verify that a default value exists for company 00000. For each company requiring specific instructions, verify that there is a business unit or object account.
You can attach explanatory messages to any AAI. Select the memo function and enter the message. When you attach a message, a See Memo message appears next to the AAI.
