Company Setup and Branch SetupGo to System Config >Administrator >Company Profiles > Edit > Advanced settings > General Ledger LinksThis controls what happens to processing in the system for that branch. A user has a primary branch and is governed by these rules.Let’s look at the Invoice – the drop down indicates Invoice, go to GL links to see what happens..png)
General Ledger Links SetupGo to System Config> General Ledger Links > GL Links SetupStarting backwards we go to the Group Links, find the Invoice label that was selected in the company profile setup..png)
Now go to the Links tab to see what the ledger accounts are, in the case of an invoice there are two links, so you will have to look at both to see what ledger accounts affect the transaction.The first transaction is the Debtors Invoice, note the debit and credit accounts..png)
The second link affects the stock.Now stock has other rules which will override the stock ledger account or cost of sales.Check the Service and Custom stock override..png)
Inventory service and custom itemsThe first place a service and custom item gets it’s ledger account when first setting one up is from the branch / company profile setup. After that the user will have to manually change the ledger account on each service or custom item.Go to System Config > Administrator > Company Profiles> Amend Branch> Defaults Tab.png)
Go to Inventory Module> Configuration> Inventory setupThis setup replaces the Stock Ledger account when processing an invoice..png)
Inventory group codesGo to Inventory Module > Configuration > Group Code setupThe group codes will override the General Ledger Links rules. This allows an inventory item to get posted to a sales and or cost of sales accounts..png)
Additional General Ledger properties found in GL, Debtors and CreditorsThis is found in General Ledger, Debtors and Creditors setups.This rule overrides the group codes on an invoice as well as the general ledger links.This rule allows a user to assign Sales and Cost of Sales accounts based on a combination of Division, Region and Invoice group..png)
