AM09.1 - Accounting Unit Group
Use Accounting Unit Group (AM09.1) to define accounting unit groups,
which group and identify the accounting units to use when you create journal
entries for adding, adjusting, transferring, or disposing of assets. You do
not have to create an accounting unit group for a company, but you may want
to do so in most circumstances to be able to apply dynamic changes to
accounting
units.
**Process at a Glance
1. Define at least one depreciation book.
2. Define a depreciation calendar for the current year (AM01.1).
3. Define an asset type (AM06.1)
4. Define an account group (AM05.1)
5. (This step) Define an accounting unit group (AM09.1)
**More Information
To decide which fields you should assign an accounting unit to, and
which fields you should leave blank, consider whether you are likely to always
want to post the corresponding account to the same accounting unit, or whether
you routinely post the corresponding account to a variety of accounting units.
For example, you may want to define an accounting unit for the clearing
account,
since it is an account that ends up zeroed out and does not affect the balance
sheet. But you may want to post the depreciation expense to variable
accounting
units, in which case you would leave the Depreciation Expense field blank.
When you add an asset, you can specify a default accounting unit that will
be used for all the fields not defined in the accounting unit group.
- When you add an asset, you assign to the asset a type, an
account group, and an accounting unit for each account defined for the type
and account group. You can assign the accounting units using an accounting
unit group, a default accounting unit, or a combination of both. If you assign
an accounting unit group to that asset, the accounting units that you define
for the accounting unit group map to the corresponding accounts defined for
the type or account group. Accounts for which no accounting unit is defined
in the accounting unit group will be posted to the default accounting unit.
If no accounting unit group is defined, all accounts are posted to the default
accounting unit.
- You can define an unlimited number of accounting unit groups
for a company.
- To generate a listing of the accounting unit groups, run Company
Setup Listings (AM205).
