Using
the G/L Integration Form
Use this form to:
-
Specify whether to add general ledger transactions to the G/L batch during posting or each time you run Day End Processing, or to create the transactions at a later date.
Note: This choice can have a large impact on the speed of processing inventory transactions and transactions in Order Entry. If you are costing inventory during posting, you may want to create transactions at a later date.
-
Choose whether to create a separate G/L batch each time you create the G/L batch (and optionally automatically post the batch) or add new transactions to the existing batch. (This option applies only if you use Sage Accpac General Ledger with Inventory Control at the same location.)
-
Choose whether to consolidate the G/L batch when you post, or always enter full transaction details in the batch.
-
Assign different source codes to general ledger transactions created by Inventory Control and added to G/L batches. (New source codes are automatically added to G/L, but you will have to update G/L source journal profiles to include transactions on source journals.)
-
Select the information to appear in the Entry Description, Detail Description, and Detail Reference and Comment fields in G/L transactions. (This information appears for transactions in the G/L Transactions report.)
-
Look up the last Day End Number for which you have created general ledger batches.
Click the field list button or on of the links shown below for more information on selecting G/L integration options.
Changing Settings
You can change any of your choices on the G/L Integration Options page at any time. However, you should be aware that any changes you make will apply only to general ledger transactions created after the change, and will not affect existing general ledger batches.
If you want to change from using the Create G/L Batch form to produce your general ledger transactions to creating them during day-end processing, be sure to run Create G/L Batch to process any outstanding transactions first, to avoid accidentally omitting transactions from your general ledger batches.
Before using the G/L Integration form
Before changing any of the settings or other information in the G/L Integration form, make sure you understand the impact that G/L integration options have on processing within Inventory Control.
Note: You cannot change settings on the Integration tab of the G/L Integration form if other Inventory Control forms are open, or other users are working with the Inventory Control database.
Make sure that no one else is using the Inventory Control data and that no other Inventory Control forms are open for the company before you save changes to the G/L Integration form.
