To define default account mapping

If you are not interested in the detailed mapping to ledger accounts of some integration transactions, you can optionally map the integration document type to a default account. All the transactions for the integration document type for which LN cannot determine an account based on the mapping scheme details, are posted to the default account.

You can map the debit side or the credit side of an integration transaction, or both, to a default account. For example, you can map the debit side to a default account and define a detailed mapping for the credit side.

To define the default account mapping, take the following steps:

  1. In the Mapping Scheme (tfgld4573m000) session, click the Default Accounts tab.
  2. On the appropriate menu, click Insert Integration Document Types. LN adds all the available integration document types to the mapping scheme version. The action is incremental. Integration document types for which you already defined a default ledger account are not overwritten.
  3. Select the Credit side or the Debit side of the integration document type and in the Ledger Account field, select the default ledger account. The integration document type is mapped directly to the default account, without the need for element groups and element mapping.

After you finish defining the default accounts for the integration document types, on the appropriate menu of the Default Accounts tab you can click Delete Unused Integration Document Types to remove the integration document types for which you did not define a ledger mapping, a dimension mapping, or default accounts.

Note
  • You can define default accounts as an alternative to mapping the full range of elements to a default ledger account at a low priority, which is described in To map an element group to ledger accounts or dimensions.
  • You cannot set up the dimension mapping in this way. If dimension mapping is required for the integration document type, you must still define the dimension mapping on the Mapping Details tab of the Mapping Scheme (tfgld4573m000) session. As you use a default account, you do not need to define an element group for the ledger mapping.
