G/L Account Number

Enter a G/L account number commodity relationship if users at your organization most often enter an account number instead of a commodity on the requisition line. When the user enters an account number, the system searches the F40551 table for a related commodity for that account number. When searching for a commodity relationship, the system uses this hierarchy:

1. The system first searches the F40551 table to locate a related commodity for the business unit, object account, and subsidiary that the user entered.

2. If unsuccessful, the system then searches for a relationship for the object account and subsidiary that the user entered.

3. If unsuccessful, the system then searches for a relationship for the object account that the user entered.

When the system locates a commodity, it populates the Commodity field on the Requisition Entry form.

The system stores general ledger account number relationship information in the F40551 table.
