Re: Inventory Link to G/L

[Alister Wm Macintyre <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Go to Menu INV option 15 option 2 = INV355
or at one of YOUR company menus on upper right where it says enter program 
name direction do INV355C

Either way you get to a list of the Inventory transactions on your system.
Pick any one, such as the first on the list.
Look in lower left corner where it explains where in the GL this 
transaction goes.
Glue your eyes to that info
Now scroll screens through the different transaction types, with your eyes 
glued to one spot.

The deal here is that someone in your company, probably in the accounting 
department, runs some job probably daily, that copies from inventory to GL 
the consequences of you inventory transactions, payables, purchases, 
invoices, cash receipts, the whole 9 yards, and here is where the rules are 
with respect to the inventory transactions ... to an extent they are also 
in item class and other places ... so the transaction type, plus nature of 
item, plus location, all conspire to determine the General Ledger location 
that the data ends up.

In 405 CD there is a link, but it is not instantaneous.
As parts of the transactions are done ... each part of the 3 way match in 
any sequence, those parts are recorded in BPCS, then when the accounting 
person runs the INV920 and GLD540 or whaterver it is, the transactions so 
far since the last time flow into GL Journal Batches, and the transaction 
file gets a flag saying that this has been done for those transactions.

It does not matter what sequence you do the 3 way match.
It does not even matter if GL not setup right.
In the latter case it will go into the GL error list for accounting or 
whoever to resolve.

You need to study the documentation on the G/L.
