Unit Codes (1-4)
Use reporting units to view, enter, budget, and report financial information by reporting unit, at the account level. The units provide an extra filter for reporting purposes. They can be used alone or in combination. Reporting units are not part of the account number. They are used to group financial data along with the account number.
The four Unit Code fields are defined in the Unit Codes (1), Unit Codes (2), Unit Codes (3), and Unit Codes (4) forms. The unit codes exist in the schema as four separate fields and are not part of any existing chart records. They are part of the journal and ledger records. They appear along with every account in the system.
By creating user-defined combinations of account plus unit code number, you can run a variety of different financial reports specifically tailored to your needs.
Unit codes can be turned off by leaving the fields blank for all accounts or individual accounts in the chart. This prevents users from accessing those fields.
When you select a unit code and select , all accounts with that unit code are listed.
