Source codes are used in General Ledger to identify the source (or type) of transaction details. You can print source journals that include all transactions with particular source codes.
You define source codes before you enter and post accounting transactions.
Before you start
General Ledger comes with a set of source codes already defined. You can view the predefined source codes by selecting within the Source Code field on the G/L Source Codes screen.
To add source codes:
- General Ledger > G/L Setup > Source Codes.
- Click Create New.
-
In the Source Code field, enter a four-character source code.
Note: The first two characters of the code must identify the source ledger (such as GL or AR). The second two characters identify the transaction type.
- Enter a description for the code.
- Click Save.
