[SYSTEM21] Another G/L question with an A/P twist...

["Jeff Klipa" <jklipa@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings everyone,

We're contemplating moving to one General Ledger.

If you look at the code for Vendor maintenance (PL015) in A/P it won't let 
you add a vendor code to PLP05 if a vendor already exists within the same 
G/L company.  Error message "USL0032 - Supplier code already exists within 
General Ledger"

Using the SUPNAMGL logical file keyed on GLCO05/SUPN05/DSEQ05 the logic in 
program PL015 won't let you point the same vendor in multiple A/P companies 
to one G/L company.

My question to the group is, "Why does this logic exist...?"  What is the 
problem with having the same vendor in multiple A/P companies pointing to 
one consolidated G/L company...?  I must be missing the bigger picture...

Any feedback would be appreciated...

Thanks.
