GL Chart of Accounts
Hi,
I would like to seek for your help / advise on how we can address the following requirements:
Company has a Branch Segment ( 3 chars) with the following structure / hierarchy:
1.) Area1
2.) Area2
3.) Area3
4.) Branch
With this structure , we are planning to create a parent - child hierarchy.
However, there is a complexity as :
1. ) Values are duplicated
2.) Child account has more than one (1) parent
For example, below are the accounts:
Area1 Area2 Area3 Branch
D00 E00 G00
D01 E00
As you can see from above, Area2 E00 is a child of both parents D00 and D01. We tried to assign the child to two (2) parents on the Segment Values and it allowed. Then we posted a manual journal to E00. However, when we printed the FSG report displaying the parent accounts (D00 and D01) , the amount double posted, i.e. the amount posted to both parents D00 and D01. It should only post to one (1) parent. Is there a setup in FSG or anywhere that it should only post to one (1) parent?
