Uses of accounting unit and account overrides

Use accounting unit overrides or account overrides if you are posting from or posting to multiple accounting units or accounts, or if the source for an allocation includes multiple accounting units or accounts. Whether the accounting units or accounts are used for the post from or post to depends on the posting options that you select.

You can use the application to override information before the Post From fields to determine the source of an allocation. If you define only partial information on the Override tabs, then the information in the Post From fields is used.

You can also use accounting unit or account overrides to post to contra accounting units or accounts.
