How General Ledger uses source codes
Source codes are used in General Ledger to identify the source (or type) of transaction details. You can print source journals that include all transactions with particular source codes.
You must define source codes before you can enter and post accounting transactions.
All transactions entered in General Ledger must use a source code that begins with "GL" to identify the transaction with the General Ledger program.
General Ledger automatically adds new source codes found in subledger transactions during posting.
Note that when you activate Project and Job Costing, the system creates default source codes in General Ledger. When you save changes to the codes in Project and Job Costing, the changes are also effected in General Ledger.
Source codes in imported batches
Imported transactions must also contain source codes. You can define or import the source codes you want to use in imported transactions in the Source Codes form.
Using source codes for reporting
Source codes allow you to organize and print source journals of posted transactions according to transaction type (for example, sales, checks, or cash receipts).
Use source journals to group transactions for analysis and auditing requirements. Batch listings and posting journals group transactions only by time of entry.
