GENERAL LEDGER SEGMENTS#

This section explains the Define G/L Segments (IDGS) screen and its associated fields.

The distribution code may be formatted into segments representing specific areas of the general ledger company. For example, segments can represent a division, cost center or account. A segment is defined as alphanumeric characters separated by a ‘-’ or a ‘.’ (e.g. ‘DVCNT-ACCT’).

The system may ‘validate’ each segment of distribution codes defined on the G/L Company (IDGC) form. You may do this by completing the G/L Segments (IDGS) form for all segments you wish to validate.

Once you define these segments, Personality validates the distribution code via the Distribution Editor button for any forms that invoke this Distribution Editor. For example: Department (IDDP), Job (IDJB), Position (IDPS), Assignment (IEAS), Pay Transaction (IPTR), Pay Lines (IPPH), etc. The distribution button invokes the distribution editor to look-up and choose the appropriate segment codes.

When you define the segments, you must use ‘?’ as an overlay for any unknown segments. You must not leave a segment blank. For example if you know only the first segment, the code should appear as ‘123?-??-???’.
