Statistical Accounts

A statistical account is a type of account used for tracking non-monetary data. As with statistics codes, statistical accounts must have an associated UOM. The statistical account Workdays, for example, might use DAY as a UOM.

You define an account as either statistical or monetary on the Account page. The choices are mutually exclusive. For instance, you cannot identify statistical accounts with a monetary account type. When passing data to the general ledger, the Load GL process generates a separate journal line for each account number, whether it is a statistical or a monetary account type. When you use a statistical account type to track non-monetary data, the Load GL process generates a separate journal line for each statistical account to accommodate a transaction's statistical amount.

For example, suppose that you are billing a customer for 10 workstations. You enter these accounting entries on the Bill Line Distribution pages:

Bill Line Distrib. Pages	Acct	Dept	Prod	Proj
AR Offset	120000	<no value>	<no value>	<no value>
Revenue Dist.	400000	<no value>	<no value>	<no value>
Stat Info	994600	<no value>	<no value>	<no value>

Affiliate	Stat Code	Monetary Amt	Stat Amt	UOM Derived
<no value>	<no value>	50000	<no value>	<no value>
<no value>	<no value>	50000	<no value>	<no value>
<no value>	<no value>	<no value>	10	UNT

The Load GL and Journal Generator processes generate these accounting entries and journal entries when passing this information to the general ledger system:

Acct	Dept	Prod	Proj
120000	<no value>	<no value>	<no value>
400000	<no value>	<no value>	<no value>
994600	<no value>	<no value>	<no value>

Affiliate	Statistics Code	Monetary Amount	Statistical Amount
<no value>	<no value>	50,000	<no value>
<no value>	<no value>	50,000	<no value>
<no value>	<no value>	<no value>	10
