Different GL codes for different location codes

Posted on by 3,225

Is there a way in GP 2010 that we can have default GL codes for each location code?  For example, I invoice out of our CHA location and our NY location (but the same company in GP).  When I invoice out of our NY location I have to physically go in and change each line item to have a different inventory GL account.  I would like to be able to have it automatically change it if I change the location code.

Thank you,

Katie

    You can achieve your requirement by creating a customization.

    Katie,

    It sounds like you want to do something more than what GP can do for this out of the box. You might want to check out Flexicoder by eOne to see if it can do what you want: www.eonesolutions.com/.../FlexiCoder

    Inventory flipping feature works perfectly when it comes to tracking inventory per location. Although, this requires a specific design to be considered for the following accounts; 

    • Inventory Account
    • Inventory Offset
    • COGS
    • Markdown
    • Inventory Return
    I have previously worked with a client, with which the tracking per site is a requirements. I ended up changing the account design for the accounts mentioned above, and transferring old balances accordingly in order to activate the inventory flipping.
    Please never hesitate to share any further inquiries,

    Yes, you're right Katie, it changes it for every account set at the Inventory Card level.  Nothing out of the box allows for substitution of just the inventory account.

    Wish I had better news,

    Thank you for the reply, unfortunately I dont think that will work.  I tried to change it but it changes the GL for every section.  For example when I enter an invoice for our CHA location we get the following:

    Inventory: 00-1200-0000

    Cost of Sales 00-5000-0000

    Sales 00-4000-0000

    Markdowns 00-4000-0000

    Returns 00-5050-0000

    When I change the site id segment for the NY location to 1203 and enter an invoice then every single GL is changed to the 00-1203-0000.  I am only wanting the Inventory GL to change.  I am going to assume this isn't possible out of the box.

    Thank you,

    Katie

    Hi Katie, yes, you can do that.  Have a look at the Help files for 'Site Segment Substitution' in the inventory module.  This automates the account code mapping between an inventory Site and you GL account string.

    Open the Site Maintenance window and hit the Help button.
