Expand/Collapse item  Overview

By using multiple divisions in Accounts Receivable, the customer's division number can determine the account number to use for the Accounts Receivable, Cash Sales, Discounts Allowed, Freight, and Sales Tax account postings. These accounts are maintained in Division Maintenance.

The Sales, Sales Returns, and Cost of Goods Sold accounts numbers used for posting sales are specified in Inventory Management Product Line Maintenance. For miscellaneous charges and items, the account number specified in Miscellaneous Item Maintenance is used. For special items, the account number specified in Sales Order Options is used. The appropriate sub-account (division) specified in Accounts Receivable Division Maintenance is substituted for the division segment.

Use this procedure to set up the system to post Sales, Sales Returns, and Cost of Goods Sold accounts by customer division.
