New General Journal Account Type

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Y_A 510

Hi all, 

We are looking at the possibility to create a new General Journal Account Type (i.e. add another option in the enum that currently has FA, Customer, Vendor, G/L, Bank etc..) which of course would need us to develop the related posting routines as well. Does anyone have any experience with this? Anything in particular to look out for or a specific reason why we should avoid this?

    This is a big task, if you have experience in the product, it can be done. You will need untold hours of testing so that it does not interfere with any standard routines.

    In general i would recommend you not do a task like this.

    What is the business case for having to add a new account type to the system?

    If the need is new sub ledgers for some case, i think i would rather look into alternative use of some of the account types that are already in the system, maybe in combination with dimensions.

    And as Kim says - the number of hours you might spend on this can be almost infinite.

    Yeah it's for a subledger - will most probably go with using an already existing account type.

    Thanks!
