Re: Another G/L question with an A/P twist...

Don't know all the detail but a PM company links to a G/L company. Within 
the financial system it is possible to have multiple A/P (or A/R) 
companies pointing to a single G/L, which is this situation I believe you 
find yourself in.  When you key in a vendor, the system uses the G/L link 
to find the vendor and the actual A/P company.  Other things to watch out 
for with multiple A/P companies pointing to one G/L is duplicate invoice 
numbers.

Most people don't have a problem with this set up as they have a 1:1 
relationship for companies in all applications.

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






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.
