GL account can be overridden in Product Adjustment Entry
When making stock adjustments in Product Adjustment Entry after a physical or cycle inventory count, you can now override the defaulted IC Cost Adjustments account and post to a different GL account. This is useful if you segregate inventory adjustments into different GL accounts for reporting and auditing. The IC Cost Adjustments GL account is defined in Product GL Distribution Setup and SA Operator Setup-Other Options.
A new option, IC Cost Adjustment GL Account in IC Quantity Adjustment Entry (ICEPA), is added to SA Administrator Options-Products-Defaults. To enable override of the default IC Cost Adjustments account, select Use GL Distribution Screen for this option. When you record a stock adjustment and click , a GL journal is opened and the General Ledger Distribution window is now displayed. The Account field in the General Ledger grid displays the IC Cost Adjustments account as the default, but it can be changed.
To restrict users to only updating the default GL account, select Use ICSEG/Operator for the new option. The General Ledger Distribution window is not displayed in this case, and the default IC Cost Adjustments account is updated automatically.
