Defining accounting units

An accounting unit represents a reporting or posting level within your general ledger company. It can represent a division, department, region, store, or other business entity. You use accounting units at different levels in your company to reflect your business needs and organizational structure. You can convert accounting units from your previous system or from a spreadsheet using Accounting Unit Interface (GL161). See the General Ledger User Guide.

Note: Before you define your accounting units, you must define your company. You must also carefully plan your accounting unit structure on paper before defining it in General Ledger.
