The list includes all sets of default parameters that are used for materials in production in your application.
To open this form, click the Accounting Parameters of the Materials in Production link on the Sales > Master Data > Items form.
By default, there is one predefined set in the system. It is applicable to all entities, departments, and items (materials). If needed, you can assign new sets of other parameters to specific entities, departments, and items. A set of parameters include GL accounts, business activity, and expense item.
The list of Accounting Parameters for Materials in Production
The GL accounts that will be used for any materials are listed in the table's first row with no material-item description in the Item column. This is the predefined setting.
The parameters to be used for materials (items) by all entities are presented in a row with no entity selected in the Entity column.
When you post a transaction associated with a particular material, the program will use the default parameters as follows:
- From a specific set of parameters defined for this material if there is such a set.
- From a specific set of parameters defined for the material if used by specific entity.
- From a specific set of parameter defined for the material used by all entities.
- From the default set of default parameters initially intended for all items used by all entities.
The toolbar buttons
To create a new setting, click the Create button. For details on specifying default GL accounts for particular items or item types, refer to Adding accounting parameters for materials in production.
