Customer Setup - General Ledger overview

Customer > Setup > Customer

Use this page to set up General Ledger accounts on a customer record.

Set up GL account codes to track and produce General Ledger reports at the customer level. This information is optional. If you do not specify account codes here, the account codes from the SA Operator Setup record when performing General Ledger updating.

If you specify GL account codes on a customer record, they are referenced by transaction entry functions that update the customer’s records and interface to General Ledger. You can specify the Accounts Receivable Control, Cash, Income and Discount accounts for each customer, or several customers can have the same account codes.

Lookups are provided for each field. Click Edit and click the lookup icon in a field to search a list of GL account codes. Select the account code to update the field. If you enter account codes here, they must meet the specifications set up in SA Admin Options-Financials-Acct Structure. If an embedded segment is not being used, specify a zero in the field. If a leading segment is not used, the system automatically displays a zero. For example, account code 123-0-123-123 requires the zero to be entered, but 0-0-123-123 does not.
