If you use Sage ERP Accpac General Ledger

You must decide whether you want to turn on the Override G/L Account Segments option to replace (override) segments in General Ledger accounts when you generate Inventory Control transactions involving items stocked at the location.

The accounts affected are those in an item’s category and account set. You can replace any segment except the account segment, which identifies the General Ledger account as an asset, liability, income or expense account.

For example, if you have a location segment in your General Ledger inventory control account, you can value your stock by physical location if you replace the location segment with segment codes which identify physical locations.
