ORDERS_order_cat1

The user may select the Update G/L Code button to update/modify all open orders.

TRAX confirms the operation with this message window.

ORDERS_order_cat2

The user may select the Use G/L 2 From P/N Master checkbox to enable the Inventory G/L 2 via the P/N Master, Costing Tab (second General Ledger accounts) and make it effective for Inventory and Repair Orders set up in the P/N Category Transaction Code.

When this checkbox is selected, Purchase Orders created with this particular Order Category will have its G/L information populated by the ordered P/N's Inventory G/L 2 found in the P/N Master, Costing tab. Notice in the below Purchase Order header that the Order Category with the Use G/L 2 From P/N Master checkbox is entered.

When a P/N is entered in the P/O detail window, the P/N's Inventory G/L 2 populates the G/L field.

Notice the P/N's Inventory G/L 2 from the P/N Master, Costing Tab matches the G/L populated in the Purchase Order detail window.

Additional Functionality:

This Transaction Code has another function when G/L Interface Switch COMPANYMULTI is set to 'Yes'. When set to 'Yes', the Category field will become the Company field. It is part of the Multi-Company functionality that allows Companies that own subsequent airlines to share the same database while differentiating the G/L information amongst each airline. From this Transaction Code, users are to enter a System Code and G/L Company that matches the G/L Account of a company/airline code.

For more information on the Multi-Company functionality, refer to the Switch COMPANYMULTI via the G/L Interface Switch Manual.
