GL10.1 - Company

Use GL10.1 (Company) to define and maintain a general ledger company. The
company represents the highest business unit or legal entity in your
organization. For example, the company could be a corporation, holding
company, division, or region. You can structure the company as either a single
business entity or as multiple business entities under a single corporation
using a company group. Within each company, you can define up to five
organizational hierarchy levels.

The company identifies your base operating currency, accounting periods and
fiscal year, period ending dates, and valid chart of accounts.

This program contains the following navigational tools to define your company
structure. See each subforms form help for additional information.

* Use the Main form tab to define and maintain required company parameters.
From this tab, you can choose the Backpost button to select a period for
backposting, or choose the Company Group button to define a company group.

* Use the Hierarchy form tab to define and maintain the company structure. The
information you define on this form tab determines how you define accounting
units for the company and the maximum number of accounting units you can
define at each level. To optimize processing efficiency, define only the
number of levels you need for your company structure and carefully select each
level size. Once you define a level size, you cannot change it. For example, a
level size of 2 allows you to include up to 99 accounting unit in that level.
You can add levels if needed.

* Use the Calendar form tab to define period ending dates. If you define
period ending dates for the current year and leave last year and next year
date fields blank, the system fills in the month and day from the current
fiscal year.

* Use the Currency form tab to select a currency table, define currency
exchange and translation options, and select additional report currencies. If
you select Yes in the Currency Exchange field, choose the Currency Accounts
button to open CU03.1 (Currency Gain Loss Accounts) to select unrealized and
realized gain and loss accounts for each currency relationship the company
uses. The report currencies are additional non-base currencies that identify a
company operating currency. The report currency is for reports and analysis
only. They are calculated in the same manner as base currency. You must define
a currency relationship (CU02.1), exchange rates (CU10.1), and translation
rates (CU20.1) for each report currency with the company base currency.

* Use the Journals form tab to define journal entry, journal numbering,
workflow, journal book, and sequential transaction numbering options.

* Use the Address form tab to define optional address and communication
information for the company.

* Use the User Fields form tab to define additional information, which can be
accessed using the Report Writer system.

Run GL210 (Company Listing) to list company parameters.
