What is a better approach to split the control account per segment?
Hi Gurus!!!
I have the below scenario,
Vendor Bill GL impact
CR AP 100 - Department "Sales"
DB Expense 50 - Department "Sales"
DB Expense 25 - Department "Logistics"
DB Expense 25 - Department "Legal"
My client wants to get the AP side to also to be distributed per segment based on the amounts:
CR AP 50 - Department "Sales"
CR AP 25 - Department "Sales"
CR AP 25 - Department "Sales"
DB Expense 50 - Department "Sales"
DB Expense 25 - Department "Logistics"
DB Expense 25 - Department "Legal"
Can you please provide insights on the better approach without breaking any normal Account Payables Operations/Reporting?
Because this could be easily done by a Journal Entry or GL custom lines to negate the original AP line and creating 3 extra lines, however i am not sure we can tag the vendor in the custom lines. Not sure if the Balancing segments can be somehow repurposed to achieve this scenario?
