Purchase Business Setup (PBS) - System

Ledger Posting Business Unit

The Business Unit any ledger transactions to be posted to in the Financials module. This allows posting to another Business Unit. For example, a purchase order raised in business unit AAA could have a ledger posting to the Financials module in business unit BBB. If you leave this blank postings are made to the current Business Unit.

The option to post to a different Business Unit only applies to a Ledger Definition with a module code for Purchasing, and must be for the Primary Budget Ledger, Purchase Commitment Ledger, or the Expected Revenue Ledger, as defined on the Business Unit Setup (BUS).

If a different Business Unit is specified, then budget checking cannot be performed in this Business Unit.

Trans Curr Analysis Directory

The analyzable entity used as the default currency code on a purchase order or invoice line. That is, if no currency code is entered on the transaction line, this defines what currency code is to be used. However, this can be overridden by the user on entering an order, or by the currency code defined on the Purchase Type.

The analyzable entity used as the default currency code on a purchase order or invoice line. That is, if no currency code is entered on the transaction line, this defines what currency code is to be used. However, this can be overridden by the user on entering an order, or by the currency code defined on the Purchase Type.

The currency code is held as an analysis code on an analyzable entity, such as, Supplier Analysis, Address Analysis and so on. For example, Address Analysis Dimension 3 may hold the default currency code for each address linked to a supplier ordering address. If no other currency code is entered on the transaction line, the system refers to the supplier setup, the supplier ordering address on the order, and the associated Analysis Dimension 3. An analysis dimension must be created and linked to the currency code tables. Analysis Structure (ANS) must be used to assign this dimension to Address Analysis.

This field cannot be left blank if the Transaction Currency field has been activated in the Business Unit Setup.

Transaction Currency Dimension

This identifies which of the ten possible analysis dimensions attached to the above analyzable entity holds the currency code. This means that by holding a currency code as an analysis dimension against an address, for example, the correct currency is automatically selected whenever that address is used. If you leave these entries blank, or the code is blank, the Base Currency is used instead.

Batch or Online Posting

If you are serialized to use SunSystems Financials, this field indicates whether posting is carried out online (after posting requested) or by batch (when requested by Financials).

Error Suspense Account Value 1-3

Indicates the Error Suspense Account to be used to correct imbalances for each value. Used when posting is selected.

Temporary Address Format

You can create temporary addresses when entering purchase transactions. If a format is entered in this field, the system ensures that the code of the temporary address matches that format.

Hide Temporary Address

If this is checked, when Temporary Addresses are created their status is set to Hidden instead of Open.
