I'm trying to setup an item with item type of "service" or "non-inventory". Would like to know how I can setup/split the charges for an item code for example, that costs $50 with $5 going to one account code and $45 going to another account code.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Thanks, Kim Dallefeld I'll also try to use reports to retrieve the split amount.
Thanks Greg Enns. Will try your solution and let you know.
This is not an unusual request, however, as others have stated there is no feature in BC to split a single item line into two general ledger accounts. I have seen customization that runs periodically (daily, weekly, monthly) that creates an accounting entry to split costs.
I could also suggest using a charge item for the $5 and though it will not post to a different general ledger account, you could use a report to pull those amounts from the value entry table and make an accounting entry.
Thanks for the help, Josh.
I've created a purchase quote but I don't know how to split the amount and let it go to 2 different posting groups. I can't see any options under the Lines fast tab in the purchase quote page that will enable me to do the splitting. Cheers!
You need to use a different general product posting group on each document line. An item is set to use a default value from the item card. You would need a logic for changing this or do it manually.
If it was me and I wanted to avoid development I do this:
Create a purchase quote but use a custom document number like TEMP-PQ001. This is to indicate it’s different to the others. TEMP = template. Setup the quote with your split and assign the required general product posting group. Check the general posting setup to see which purchase account is used. Create a new PO and then use “Copy Document” and select the template purchase quote
Above idea over recurring purchase lines because the general product posting group isn’t an available field
