Posted on by Bhagyashree Shahade 170

Hi,

If Posting Groups are used in Business Central to assign Transactions in respective GL Accounts , then how these Posting Groups are mapped from GP (Manual Migration from GP to BC).

One way I found is, there are Customer / Vendor Classes in GP , so these classes can be mapped to Posting Groups .  But what if classes is not used in GP, and entry level transaction is used (i.e Accounts are assigned to each entities (Customers/ Vendors ))

    Hi,

    I've written an article and recorded a YouTube video comparing GP and BC functionality with regards defaulting GL codes. It explains how BC uses Posting Groups on entities like Customers and how GL codes are then defaulted. (I come from a GP background originally)

    Hopefully you might find it useful :).

    Thanks

    Hi Gavin,

    I had the your articles already...M new to Gp hence was bit confused..

    My concern was more of Setting Up Accounts from GP to BC to bulk Vendors/Customers. Since there is no any grouping done in GP..so what kind of grouping shall I take in BC to map GL codes from GP.

    Right now I am fetching GL codes Assigned for each of the Master tables using following table:

    PM00203 – Vendor Accounts ( Index to GL Accounts)

    RM00101-Customer Accounts " "

    Bhagyashree,

    If you are using default accounts on customers and vendors you would need to use the posting groups for the balance sheet accounts, but I use the recurring lines for the expense accounts.  The setup of the recurring allows you to do them manually, automatic ask each time.  This is what I have used for those settings.

    Thanks Gavin and Tanya for your responses...both the methods mentioned would be used in different scenarios..Since I didn`t have Groups, hence I preferred the Recurring Purchases for Setting Default G\L Accounts on Vendors
