Select Line Defaults.
- Account Number
Enter a value that identifies an account in the general ledger. Use one of these formats to enter account numbers:
Standard account number (business unit.object.subsidiary or flex format).
Third general ledger number (maximum of 25 digits).
Account ID number. The number is eight digits long.
Speed code, which is a two-character code that you concatenate to the AAI item SP. You can then enter the code instead of an account number.
The first character of the account number indicates its format. You define the account format in the General Accounting constants.
- Subsidiary
Enter a value to identify a subset of an object account. Subsidiary accounts include detailed records of the accounting activity for an object account.
If you are using a flexible chart of accounts and the object account is set to six digits, you must use all six digits. For example, entering 000456 is not the same as entering 456 because if you enter 456, the system enters three blank spaces to fill a six-digit object.
- Obj Acct (object account)
Enter a value for 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.
If you use a flexible chart of accounts and the object account is set to six digits, you should use all six digits. For example, entering 000456 is not the same as entering 456 because if you enter 456, the system enters three blank spaces to fill a six-digit object.
- Subledger
Enter a code that identifies a detailed, auxiliary account within a general ledger account. A subledger can be an equipment item number or an address book number. If you enter a subledger, you must also specify the subledger type.
- Sub Type (subledger type)
Enter a value from UDC 00/ST that is used with the Subledger field to identify the subledger type and how the system performs subledger editing. On the User Defined Codes form, the second line of the description controls how the system performs editing. This is either hard-coded or user-defined. Values include:
A: Alphanumeric field, do not edit.
N: Numeric field, right justify and zero fill.
C: Alphanumeric field, right justify and blank fill.
