Overview

Info

The general ledger dissections are broken up based upon a set of Interface Rules that are applied to a transaction type.
The Interface rules are pre-set and usually not touched.
The only real-time you would change interface rules is if you have chosen to break up the standard Readysell chart of accounts to be by Department (what we call Product Category).
If this is the case, you need to ensure you have a chart of account to stand for each product category required, a product category set up, the general account then needs to be assigned to the correct product category account and the product category assigned to the product itself.
Then you can make changes to the Interface rule if you wish to dissect against the Product Category etc.

If there is a product that is in a Product Category that you don't want to apply this interface rules to, you will need to create a new product category and apply this product category to the product.

Please also note, on Non Stock Products the costing method for each Product Category needs to be set up correctly.


Info

Please note:  If you create sub-department chart of accounts, that is you have decided later on to break up Sales Revenue by Department being Sales Revenue Stationery, Sales Revenue Furniture etc, you need to speak to Readysell.
Creating a sub-department chart of accounts after you have been using the standard chart of accounts does not mean that all previous general ledger postings will be moved to the newly created general ledger account for that department.

Note

If you have two source transaction types that create the one final transaction then you can break the interface rule up by adding to the one interface rule for the transaction type and copy each existing rule but add the source transaction type.

EG

A deposit can be made one two types of Source Sales Transaction Type but when the sales order is Invoiced, you get the one transaction type of Saloin.

The two different types of source transactions are Salord and Salweb.

However, the Salord needs to be dissected against a different set of general ledger rules to the Salweb.

Go top the Interface rules
Find and highlight the Saloin 
On the original set of interface rules currently set up, for each of the lines add to the field 'source transaction type' Salord' and click on Save for each of these lines.
Then Sort these rules by OID
Highlight the First line within the interface rule and click on COPY
Add to the first line, Source Transaction Type = Salweb
Click on Save
Repeat the Step for each of the original lines that existed in this interface and add the Salweb to the source transaction type.
If you wish to apply the Override Site to any of these rules for the Salweb you can do so.

EG Screenshot below.
Override Site has been applied to Saloin for Sourcetransaction Type of Salweb only for Tax Value and Value EX Tax Fields.
