Merge of general ledger accounts

When a general ledger account field is not uniquely specified, the general ledger components are merged. Generating work orders and other kinds of transactions requires choosing among component values. The product invokes a set of rules on how to handle them.

General ledger accounts are merged component by component. Defined components always supersede an undefined component. For example, if the first component of one account code is 6000 and the first component of the other account code is a placeholder (????), the merged first component is 6000.

When general ledger account codes merge, the result can be an unspecified account code. In this case, to complete the merge, complete one of the following actions:

To use the merged account code, an authorized user must establish the account code in the Chart of Accounts application. The account code must be established before you can proceed with the transaction.
If you do not use the merged account code, then ensure that the transaction is valid.
