Adding 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 define source codes before you enter and post accounting transactions.

General Ledger comes with a set of source codes already defined. You can view the predefined source codes by clicking the Finder in the Source Code field in the Source Codes screen.

To add source codes:

  1. Open General Ledger > G/L Setup >  Source Codes.
  2. Click the New icon for the Source Code field, and then type a four-character source code.

    Note: The first two characters of the code must identify the source ledger (such as GL or AR). The second two characters identify the transaction type.

  3. Enter a description for the code.
  4. Click Add.

Print the Source Codes report from the G/L Reports folder as a record of the available codes.
