Accounting Parameters Window

 

This window appears when you confirm your replies in the Configuration window, the General Ledger Integration window or the Cash Manager Integration window

Purpose

This window contains parameters which define the interpretation of General Ledger profit centre ids and account ids throughout the financial and distribution modules.

Warning

You should not change the parameters in this window after they have been set up.

The prompts are:

Right justify profit centre Ids

(Y/N.) Enter Y if you intend to use numeric profit centre codes. Enter N if you intend to use alphanumeric profit centre codes.

Further information

For further information on right justification, see the Numeric Codes paragraph in System Parameters.

Right justify account Ids

(Y/N.) Enter Y if you intend to use numeric General Ledger account codes. Enter N if you intend to use alphanumeric General Ledger account codes.

Account code length (1-10)

Specify the maximum number of digits/characters to be allowed in a General Ledger account code. Ensure that the length you specify is large enough to cater for the existing account code length and future expansion.

Note

This parameter also determines the length of account group codes in General Ledger.

Check accounts against General Ledger

(Y/N.) This indicator relates to Global 3000 Cash Manager, Creditors Ledger and Debtors Ledger. Enter Y to check General Ledger profit centre and account codes against the actual General Ledger chart of accounts. Enter N to check them against the offline chart of accounts set up in Company Parameters.

Note

This indicator can also be set in the General Ledger Interface windows of Cash Manager, Creditors Ledger and Debtors Ledger System Parameters. There is only one indicator. If you set it in one module, you automatically set it for the other modules and in this window too.

Red-ink corrections in CL, DL, & CM

(Y/N.) This controls the postings that are generated in General Ledger from correction transactions in Debtors and Creditors Ledgers and Cash Manager. If red-ink corrections are in use in General Ledger and this is set to Y, reversal journals, and dishonoured/void cheque batches from Debtors and Creditors, and negative receipts and payments entered into Cash Manager, are posted to General Ledger as negative credits and debits as required. This ensures that the correct totals of debits and credits are maintained within the General Ledger.

 

This indicator should be set to N if there is no General Ledger interface, or if red-ink corrections are not in use in General Ledger.

Further information

For more information on red-ink corrections in General Ledger see Credit/Debit Notation in the General Ledger Manual.
