Understanding G/L Class Code Assignment

Depending on the information that you enter on the requisition, the system obtains the G/L class code from different sources. The system uses this hierarchy when obtaining the G/L class code:

1. If you enter an item number, the system uses the G/L class code from the item location record.

2. If the item location record does not have a G/L class code, the system uses the G/L class code from the item branch record.

3. If the item branch record does not have a G/L class code, the system uses the G/L class code on the item master record.

4. If you have not entered an item number, but have entered a commodity, the system uses the G/L class code for the commodity.

5. If the G/L class code for the commodity is blank, the system uses the line type on the commodity and retrieves the G/L class code from the line type constants.

6. If the commodity on the requisition is UNKNOWN, the system uses the line type specified in the processing options for the Requisition Entry Business Function Application, as the line type for the UNKNOWN commodity is blank. You can change this line type, if necessary.

   Using the line type specified in the processing options, the system retrieves the G/L class code from the line type constants.

7. If the Line Type processing option is blank, the system uses the data dictionary default values for line type (value for the LNTY field is S and the value for RLNTY is N) and retrieves the G/L class code from the line type constants.

Note:

The Line Type field is editable, and can be changed by the user. If you are using a line type with an inventory interface, the system determines which AAI to use as follows:

If the inventory interface is set to Y or C, the system uses the 4310 AAI.

If set to B, the system uses the 4315 AAI.

If set to A, the system uses the 4318 AAI.
