Specifying different account segments for locations

Inventory Control lets you replace (override) segments in general ledger accounts when you generate Inventory Control transactions involving items stocked at the location.

The accounts affected are those defined by an item's category and account set. You can replace any account 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 — as well as by account set — if you replace the location segment with segment codes which identify physical locations.
