GL Posting Table F/M (ARF956)

Use this program to set up GL posting tables for different customer types so that transactions can be posted and tracked with greater detail.

For example, if you wanted to post services charges applied to retail customers to a different account than service charges applied to wholesale customers, you would create a GL posting table for retail customers and another for wholesale customers in this file maintenance, each containing a different GL account number for service charges. Then in the AR to GL Posting Table, you would change the service charges basis flag to C-Customer. When the Service Charge Register is run, service charges will post to their respective accounts.

As noted above, the Accounts Receivable GL Posting Table works with the AR to GL and SO to GL Posting Tables to determine how transactions should post to the GL after the following registers have been printed:

• Cash Receipts & Adjustments Register – posts to accounts receivable GL number, discount GL number and adjustment GL number.
  
• Service Charge Register – posts to service charges GL number.
  
• Returned Check Register – posts to returned checks GL number.
  
• AR Sales Register – posts to Sales GL number.
  
• SO Daily Sales Register – posts to sales, misc. sales, inter-warehouse A/R, deposits and accounts receivable GL numbers.
  

In each of these prompts, you can press F2 to perform a search for available GL numbers, or in the case of prompt #1, available GL posting table codes. All of the GL numbers entered in this table work with the AR to GL and/or SO to GL posting tables so that transactions post according to customer categories.
