Accounting with Operating UnitsThis module allows a company to manage the accounting based on Operating
Units (OU’s).The financial reports (Trial Balance, P&L, Balance Sheet), allow to report
the balances of one or more OU’s.If a company wishes to report Balance Sheet and P&L accounts based on
OU’s, they should indicate at company level that the OU’s are
self-balanced, and the corresponding Inter-Operating Unit clearing account.
The Chart of Accounts will always be balanced, for each Operating Unit.A company considering Operating Unit as applicable to report only profits
and losses will not need to set the OU’s as self-balanced.The self-balancing of Operating Unit is ensured at the time of posting a
journal entry. In case that the journal involves posting of items in
separate Operating Units, new journal items will be created, using the
Inter-Operating Unit clearing account, to ensure that each OU is going to
be self-balanced for that journal entry.Adds the Operating Unit (OU) to the invoice. A user can choose what OU to
create the invoice for.Adds the Operating Unit (OU) to payments and payment methods. The operating
unit of a payment will be that of the payment method choosen.Implements security rules at OU level to invoices, payments and journal
