the G/L Account Determination Criteria - Inventory in SAP Business One control the automatic posting of stock movements to the corresponding G/L accounts. They enable precise and flexible account assignment for incoming and outgoing goods, stock changes and other stock movements.
Activation of extended G/L account determination:
The extended rules are activated by clicking on "G/L account determination" the checkbox "Extended G/L account determination" is selected. As soon as this option is active, the extended criteria replace the standard options (G/L account determination by warehouse, article or item group).
Important aspects of the G/L account determination criteria:
- Available criteria:
Using the extended G/L account determination, various criteria such as business partner group, article and customer master fields or up to five user-defined fields can be used for account assignment. - Prioritisation of the criteria:
The criteria are sorted according to their priority. The most important criterion is always at the top of the rule definition. - Combination of criteria:
It is possible to combine several criteria to create complex rules for the G/L account determination to create. - Account definition:
In the right-hand section of the rule definition table, you define the G/L accounts that are to be posted to if the criteria are met. - Example:
To give a specific customer group its own Revenue account you can use the criterion "Business Partner Group" with the corresponding value.
Standard options for G/L account determination:
In addition to extended account determination, SAP Business One also offers the option of configuring G/L account determination according to the following criteria:
- Article group: This setting is made in the tab "Accounting" under "Article groups - definition".
- Bearing: Storage in the tab "Accounting" under "Bearing - Definition".
- Article: Configuration in the article master on the tab "Inventory data".
Advantages:
The extended G/L account determination criteria - Inventory offer a high degree of flexibility to allocate postings precisely and rule-based to the correct G/L accounts. This ensures correct financial reporting and enables meaningful analysis of inventory movements.
