End User Type Accounting

This topic describes end user type accounting.

A default Unit Code can be associated to each End User Type. When an End User Type is set up, instead of having to assign the same value to the unit code 3 slot of each account (A/R, Sales, COGS etc), the user can assign the default value at the header level.

Unit Code 3 on the End User Types form will be set on WIP, Expense, Inventory, Reimbursement, Revenue, and Sales Discount Accounts on Sales Orders, Service Orders, and Contracts if the Unit Code 3 would have otherwise been blank.

Set a Unit Code 3 value to use for transactions associated to this End User Types without manually setting each specific account.

Note: The Unit Code 3 value of the End User Type will only be used if the Unit Code 3 value of the account is blank; the field functions more as a default than an override.

In this example, the COGs Matl account acquired for that customer/item was as follows:


COGS Matl Acct	Unit Code 1	Unit Code 2	Unit Code 3	Unit Code 4
30001	001	002	003	004

That SRO had an End User Type COGS Matl Setup as follows:


COGS Matl Acct	Unit Code 1	Unit Code 2	Unit Code 3	Unit Code 4
40000	001	002	005	007

What would happen is that the COGS Matl Acct from the End User Type would then override the already acquired COGS Matl Actt and thus the account information would then look like the End User Type Acct:


COGS Matl Acct	Unit Code 1	Unit Code 2	Unit Code 3	Unit Code 4
40000	001	002	005	007

However, some customers ONLY want the Unit Code 3 to be overwritten, not the account number as well so if they set it up to have the COGS Matl Acct blank all the way across and only at the top (below the End User Type) - have the Unit Code 3 filled in with '005', then when the system looked at the End User Type - it would then have the account as follows:


COGS Matl Acct	Unit Code 1	Unit Code 2	Unit Code 3	Unit Code 4
30001	001	002	005	004

Only the Unit code 3 would change - the main account would not change.
