AC07


AC07.1 - Account Assignment

Use AC07.1 (Account Assignment) to assign General Ledger companies,
accounting units, accounts, and subaccounts to activity group, activities, and
account categories. The company must exist in GL10.1 (Company) and the
accounting units, accounts, and subaccounts must exist in GL20.1 (Accounting
Unit-Account).

Account assignments validates the General Ledger information that is
associated with and can post to the activity group, activity, and account
category.

You can define the specific General Ledger information that posts to the
activity group, activity, and account category using the Or and Inc/Exc
fields. The Or feature lets you include or exclude combinations of general
ledger information while the Inc/Exc feature lets you include or exclude
individual or ranges of general ledger information.

The following is an Or example:
Type        Inc/Exc        Beginning Value    Ending Value        Or
----        -------        ---------------    ------------        --
1 (Company)   I            4321               4321                1
2 (A/U)       I            101                101                 1
3 (Acct)      I            51100              51140               1
1 (Company)   I            4321               4321                2
2 (A/U)       I            201                201                 2
3 (Acct)      I            51100              99999               2

This indicates that accounts 51100 to 99999 are valid for accounting unit 201
for company 4321 OR accounts 51100 to 51140 are valid for accounting unit 101
for company 4321. All other accounting units and account are excluded.

The Inc/Exc field identifies specific General Ledger information that is valid
for the activity group, activity, and account category combination. This
performs the same function as the Or feature. If you wanted to exclude the
above information, you would select "E" in the Inc/Exc field and leave the Or
field blank.

Run AC207 (Account Assignment Listing) to list the general ledger account
assignments with an activity group, activity, and account category.

You can run AC105 (Account Category Assignment) or AC110 (Activity Copy) to
copy account categories for easier setup.
