Question:
How are the account numbers in Product Type File Maintenance used?
Resolution:
The GL account# and entity fields represent the GL account# and Corp/Division/Department/Job# to be used when purchasing inventory (Inventory asset account), selling inventory (Sales revenue account) or expensing inventory (Req. expense account) for internal use via the PO Requisition system.
The Inventory account is an asset account in the 100000-199999 range and will not use a Div/Dept/Job. The Sales account is a revenue acct >=300000. It must use a Div# and may also have a department and job. The Requisition/Expense account is also >=00000 and must use a Div# and may also use a department and job. See below.
