Accounting

Business Unit

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

Note: Updating the Business Unit field might result in a change to the currency code for service, equipment, and tenant work orders.

Subsidiary

Enter the subset of an object account that describes the subsidiary account or cost center.

Subledger Inactive Code

Enter a value from the Subledger Inactive Code (00/SI) UDC table that indicates whether a specific subledger is inactive.

Covered G/L Category

Enter a code from the G/L Posting Category (41/9) UDC table that identifies the G/L offset to use when the system is searching for the account to which it will post the covered portion (by warranty or contract) of the accounting transaction. If you do not want to specify a G/L offset, you can enter four asterisks in this field or you can leave this field blank. If you leave this field blank, the system uses the G/L offset from Inventory.

Note: Work order mass updates of the Covered G/L Category field are not supported for manufacturing or tenant work orders.

Non-Covered G/L Category

Enter a code from the G/L Posting Category (41/9) UDC table that identifies the G/L Offset to use when the system is searching for the account to which it will post the non-covered portion of the accounting transaction. If you do not want to specify a G/L Offset, you can enter four asterisks in this field or you can leave this field blank. If you leave the field blank, the system uses the G/L Offset from Inventory.

Note: Work order mass updates of the Covered G/L Category field are not supported for manufacturing or tenant work orders.

Branch

Enter the secondary or higher level business unit.

In tenant work orders, this business unit is the building number. It is edited against the Business Unit Master (F0006) table.

Note: Work order mass updates of the Branch field are not supported for manufacturing work orders.

Note: If an equipment or service work order has associated parts or labor lines, the update process will generate an error message if you change the Branch field and then run the update process. You cannot change the Branch field for these work orders because doing so can trigger entitlement checking, which is not supported.
