Assigning additional fields

Each ledger transaction may contain up to 25 additional description fields (of 30 characters each), and 5 additional date fields. These additional ledger fields can be used for recording supplementary references and other details, which do not need to be validated against a pre-defined list.

Additional fields in ledger transactions can be populated in Ledger Import (LIM), and in Ledger Entry (LEN) providing the Ledger Entry form has been designed to include these fields. The fields can also be set to specific values using Business Rules. Like analysis codes they can be defined to be amendable in Account Allocations (ACA), again, providing the Account Allocations form has been designed to include these fields. They are also available as selection criteria in Transaction Matching (TRM).

The additional fields can be included on forms, filters and reports, in which the description entered in Additional Fields Setup (AFS) is displayed.
