Fields and controls
Choose Segments from List
This list shows the segments of transaction information that can be assigned to the G/L field.
To assign a segment, select the segment in this list, and then click Include. It moves to the Segments Currently Used list.
- You can assign a maximum of five segments to a G/L field.
- If the combined length of the segments and separators exceeds 60 characters, the assigned information is truncated when the transaction is posted.
- The available segments depend on the transaction type.
Example
Displays how the selected segments and separator will appear for the G/L field.
G/L Transaction Field
Displays the G/L field for which you are assigning information.
- For transaction entries (document headers), you can assign information to the G/L Entry Description field.
You can also assign the information to be used for details that are created for a document when it is passed to General Ledger (for example, summary tax details or summary rounding details). Because these details are created for a transaction as a whole, the information assigned to their detail description, reference, and comment fields is taken from the entry rather than a document detail.
- For transaction details, you can assign the information to be used for the detail description, detail reference, and detail comment.
Segment Separator
Select the character you want to use to separate the segments in the G/L field, when needed.
Note: The separator is used only if you assign more than one segment.
Segments Currently Used
This list shows the segments of transaction information that are assigned to the G/L field. Each row of the list is used in order with the Segment Separator between them.
To remove a segment from the G/L field, select the segment in this list, and then click Exclude.
Transaction Type
Displays the type of transaction entry or transaction detail for which you are assigning information to the G/L fields.
