This grid is used to define the manner in which are used the accounting codes for this entry.
These accounting codes are used to determine at the same time on which account, for which nature and for which analytical dimensions the entry is posted.
The principle is as follows :
- if no expression is given in the "account" field in the entry line, or if the result of the evaluation of these fields contains the "x" (for example '7xxx02xx'), they will be read successively the accounting codes in the order defined by this grid whose value is given by the value of the Identifying key. For each account position still containing an "x", a replacement takes place from the same position of the account found in the "accounting code" record. This process is repeated whilst "x" s remain in the account and while the accounting codes grid is not completely covered. The remaining "x" are replaced by zeros.
- If no nature expression is given, the accounting codes are covered in the same way, but without looking to replace them character by character. once a nature code is found in the accounting codes table, the search is stopped. In the last resort, if no nature is found, the default nature for the general account is used.
- If a business partner account is moved, the corresponding control account is searched for from the accounting codes defined in a control account (if there is one in the customer, supplier... accounting codes).
