I'm attempting to determine why any one would ever want to override a Company's Base Zone on a JE Header (GL40.2). Infor provides the functionality, but why would any one wish to perform this action. What would be gained...?? What would be some of the reasons for doing this...?? it seems to me it might increase difficulty with elimination entries at month-end.
I'm just looking for rationale and/or reasons for ever wanting to override the base zone on a JE Header...??

Good day.
We do not have to change the base zone that often but have to remeber to when we are going between our other companies which are not setup in the base zone. If you do not change it you can create a nasty little triangle that can be difficult to trace and the funds and JE comes out in the wash but is a pain to explain and figure out.
Example:
Zone 1 = hospital 1
Zone 2 = hospital 2
Zone 3 = Parent company = set as default in system
Zone 4 = hospital 3
You have a JE between Zone 1 and Zone 3 you do not need to change the base zone, all works out fine.
You have a JE between Zone 1 and Zone 1, same zone, you do not have to change the base zone, all works out fine.
You have a JE between Zone 1 and Zone 2, you have to change the base zone here to either Zone 1 or Zone 2, it doesn't matter to me which but you have one of the zones in the JE setup and creates a nice JE that is traceable. If you forget to change the zone and leave it at Zone 3 as default, you end up creating a Triangle which will work out and wash out, but becomes hard to expalin to others unless you understanding zoning. Dig out the T accounts and have fun. WE have had to do it several times and people shake their heads.
I hope this helps some. We find it more when it is a big dollar amount than small amounts as we look at which zone owes which zone funds for the month.
