Options for process level setup

A process level is part of a company, such as a division, department, or cost center. You can use process levels to

  • define default accounts used to post invoices,

  • break and subtotal reports, and

  • schedule and pay invoices.

Define at least one process level for each accounts payable company. You might need to define additional process levels depending on your company structure. If different parts of your company use different bank accounts or general ledger cash accounts, you can define each part as a unique process level and assign each unique bank information.

Also, if different parts of your company post accrued liability or reportable income withholding liability distributions to different process levels, you can define these parts as different process levels, assigning each a unique invoice accrual code, or income withholding code.

You can designate one process level as the default process level for a company. If selected, the process level defaults on all invoices for the company unless you override it during invoice entry. If you do not designate a default process level for a company, you must assign a process level to each invoice during invoice entry.
