Inventory Control lets you replace (override) segments in general ledger accounts when you generate Inventory Control transactions that include items stocked at a location.
If you want to override General Ledger account segments in Inventory Control transactions that include items stocked at a particular location, select the Override G/L Account Segments option on the Integration tab of the I/C Location screen, specify the segment to override, and specify the segment code to use to replace the segment.
Example: If you have a location segment in your general ledger inventory control account, you can value your stock by physical location, as well as by account set, if you replace the location segment with segment codes that identify physical locations.
The accounts affected are those defined by an item's category and account set. You can replace any account segment except the account segment, which identifies the general ledger account as an asset, liability, income or expense account.
