Segment substitution allows you to determine whether postings for certain general ledger accounts are applied to default accounts, or to substituted accounts based on warehouse or division. A substituted account is an account you define by selecting an account segment and an associated sub account to replace the default account number.

If segment substitution is set up to post by warehouse, default general ledger accounts defined for certain accounts are replaced by substituted accounts based on the warehouse entered. If segment substitution is set up to post by division, default general ledger accounts defined for certain accounts are replaced by substituted accounts based on the division entered.

Segment substitution occurs in various data entry windows and during the updating of various journals and registers. Segment substitution by warehouse occurs in the following modules:

• Bill of Materials

• Purchase Order

• Work Order

• eBusiness Manager

• Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA)

• Sales Order

• Inventory Management

Note For a default account number to be replaced by a substituted account, the substituted account must be a valid general ledger account created in General Ledger Account Maintenance.

The following examples show how segment substitution is set up to post by warehouse for transactions entered in Production Entry. Although segment substitution can be set up to post by warehouse in the modules listed above, the default and substituted accounts for those modules are not shown in these examples.
