<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Accounting units? [/INST] Accounting units An accounting unit represents an organizational element for an accounting entity. For example, a division, department, region, or store. Accounting units are defined in a parent-child hierarchy within an accounting unit structure. An accounting entity can have multiple accounting unit structures. One accounting unit structure must be designated as an enterprise structure. The enterprise structure is the default accounting unit structure on reporting bases. Note: On the finance enterprise group, you can rename the default term, Accounting Unit, to a term that reflects the structure that you use. For example, Department. For the purpose of this document, we use the default name. Be aware that if you change the name on the finance enterprise group, the name is changed on all of the related forms. Each accounting unit hierarchy is contained in an accounting unit structure. Your accounting entity can include an indefinite number of levels of accounting units in a parent-child structure. You can define zone balancing for any level of the accounting unit structure. See Accounting unit zones. A level represents a layer in an accounting entity's hierarchy. For example, an accounting entity hierarchy might include three levels: region, division, and department. Region is a parent of division, which is a parent of department. Each level is part of, or reports up into, the level above it. Each accounting unit must have a unique name, which can be up to 25 alphanumeric characters. You use accounting units to further define your accounting entity hierarchy. By defining accounting units at different levels, you build a structure that resembles your organization. You define two types of accounting units: Posting accounting units are used to post journal entries. Posting accounting units are the lowest child accounting units in any branch of the accounting unit structure. You cannot define additional child accounting units below a posting accounting unit. Summary accounting units are used to summarize the activity of child accounting units for consolidation and reporting. Note: If you use Accounting Entity Security Groups, changes to the structure require a rebuild of the affected security groups. See the Financials & Supply Management User and Security Administration Guide. .</s>

You cannot change the name after you save the accounting unit, although you can change the description. Note: When you create a summary accounting unit, the system automatically adds the structure number and an underscore to the beginning of the summary accounting unit name to allow it to be used in multiple structures. For example, if you name the summary accounting unit "FACILITIES" the system saves it as "1_FACILITIES" in the first structure created. This reduces the allowed number of characters for the summary name. If you enter a summary name that takes the entire available field size, the system removes characters at the end of the summary name value when prepending the structure number. System Accounting Unit Select this check box if this is the system accounting unit for system-generated transactions. For example, year-end close or currency processing and balancing.

This type of account is required for fiscal year end closing. Undistributed Retained Earnings The undistributed retained earnings account stores the net income or loss by period. This account is updated any time you post journal entries to the general ledger. When you run year-end closing, the amount in this account is cleared and posted to the retained earnings account. This type of account is required for fiscal year-end closing and journal posting. Note: The undistributed retained earnings account is included on the Balance Sheet to reflect the net income or loss for the period. This account keeps the Balance Sheet in balance. Error Suspense The error suspense account keeps an accounting entity in balance by balancing out-of-balance journal entries. Auto Balance If an accounting entity in your finance enterprise group uses the auto balancing option, you must define an auto balance account. Auto balance accounts are used to store report currency transactions that are not in balance and auto-balancing adjustment entries. Realized Gain Realized Loss or Realized Gain And Loss Realized gain and loss accounts are used to post realized gains or losses that result from currency revaluation of closed transactions.

LGE creates these sub accounts: Sub account Description 100 Non-prescription drugs 200 Prescription drugs 300 Needles 400 Lab supplies - swabs, glass 500 Disposal - tissues, gloves LGE creates a custom group named MEDICAL SUPPLIES that includes the previously defined sub accounts. LGE creates the custom group directly from the first account to which it wants the sub account group applied. Then the custom group can be used by any account. A custom group is a global entity that you use to dynamically build lists by applying criteria to a business class. For sub accounts, the business class is GeneralLedgerSubAccount. For the MEDICAL SUPPLIES custom group, these are the criteria: (GeneralLedgerSubAccount >= "100" and GeneralLedgerSubAccount <= "500") Note: This custom group leaves room to add more sub accounts at a later time. For example, sub account 450 would be part of this custom group. LGE applies the custom group to account 15100 Stock and Supplies and to each chart in which the account is included.

<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Adding multiple new sub accounts to chart accounts? [/INST] Adding multiple new sub accounts to chart accounts Use this procedure to create chart accounts for multiple new sub accounts at once. New chart accounts are created for any account that includes the specified sub accounts group and for which the Like Chart Account field has a value. A chart account is created for the new sub accounts in each summary account where the like chart account appears. Sub accounts must already be created. See Creating sub accounts. Sub accounts must already be attached to one or more accounts using a new or existing sub accounts group. When including new sub accounts in an exiting or new sub accounts group, do not specify a value for Account In Chart. If updating an existing sub accounts group, make sure the condition captures the new sub accounts. See Attaching sub accounts to accounts with a sub account group. Select Financials > Global Ledger > Setup > Finance Enterprise Group > Maintenance. Open the finance enterprise group and click the Account tab. For any accounts that include a group with new sub accounts for which you want to create chart accounts, there must be a value in the Like Chart Account field. This value is used when creating chart accounts. For example, if an account 10002 has a Like Chart Account value of 10002 , a chart account is created in the chart hierarchy where account 10002 exists for any new sub account. Use one of the following methods to populate the Like Chart Account field: Manually update the Like Chart Account field for one or more applicable accounts. This method is desirable if there are accounts that should not have a Like Chart Account value. Auto-populate the Like Chart Account field of all accounts that do not currently have a value.

<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Inter-entity netting setup? [/INST] Inter-entity netting setup Netting of inter-entity payable and receivable accounts is a process to help monthly reconciliation. The process can be run as needed and will generate the appropriate journal entries by entity. These are features of inter-entity netting: Inter-entity journals are an arrangement between the accounting entities in a finance enterprise group where each accounting entity shares revenue and expenses. Inter-entity netting is the offsetting of accounts receivable and accounts payable between two accounting entities owned by the same finance enterprise group. It reduces credit and settlement risk. Journal entries are automatically generated for the selected accounting entity parameter at the time that the inter-entity netting process is initiated. You can select sub accounts or dimensions for netting inter-entity journals. Select the sub account or dimension on the Inter Entity Dimension field on the Options tab of the finance enterprise group. System accounts must be created for inter-entity Payables and inter-entity Receivables to use inter-entity netting. See System accounts. Create an accounting entity relationship between the required accounting entities to create inter-entity journals. If an inter-entity dimension is selected as the Sub Account , then you must select the respective sub account values for the sub account. Select the Create Reverse Relation check box to create the reverse relation. See Creating accounting entity relations. Note: If you select the Entity Dimension option as Dimension 1-10, the value should already exist before creating the relationship. These fields and accounts are affected by the inter-entity netting process: A Netting Journal Approval check box is available on the Options tab of the finance enterprise group. If the check box is selected, Approval Code will become a required field when running the Inter Entity Netting action. If the check box is cleared, the Approval Required check box will be displayed when running the Inter Entity Netting action. If the Approval Required check box is selected, Approval Code is displayed. Inter-entity netting journals must use the functional amount. If the inter-entity Payables account is greater than the inter-entity Receivables account, then the journal would use the amount from the inter-entity Receivables account. The transactions would be a credit to inter-entity Receivables and a debit to inter-entity Payables. If inter-entity Receivables is greater than inter-entity Payables , then the journal would use the amount from the inter-entity Payables account. The transactions would be a credit to inter-entity Receivables and a debit to inter-entity Payables. If the accounts are equal, then the journal would use the amount from the inter-entity Payables account. The transactions would be a credit to inter-entity Receivables and a debit to inter-entity Payables. A separate journal is created for each accounting entity and includes all the transactions for each inter-entity relationship. The Transaction Date is set to the inter-entity netting batch job run date. The Total is based on the core ledger and user-defined ledgers. Required dimensions have the default dimension values. The System Code is GL and the Event Code is CB. The netting journal post date is the period end date. .</s>

For example, if you name the summary account "ASSETS" the system saves it as "1_ASSETS" in the first structure created. This reduces the allowed number of characters for the summary name. If you enter a summary name that takes the entire available field size, the system removes characters at the end of the summary name value when prepending the structure number. Specify this information: New Display Order To change the current display order, specify the new display order number. After saving, this becomes the display order.
