Journal Distribution Parameters {FGLM-2}


Journal Distribution Parameters is a facility where a parameter set may be defined for the purposes of distributing a specific transaction amount to specific GLAs in {FGLO-5}. This option will only be effective where the distribution of the transaction can be done on a percentage basis. Thus, in the event that transactions must be distributed to various GLAs, and the basis of distribution is not by way of percentages, this option cannot be used. Menu option {FGLO-2} must then be used. 



This option consists of two blocks, as follows: 


Fields in the option:

Block 1:  Transaction Distribution Codes

On this block, the code and name of the Distribution Parameter set is defined. 


Field Type

Length
Description
Transaction Distribution Code A4  Supply a unique code for the Distribution Parameter set.
Name A30 Supply a suitable name to describe the Distribution Parameter set.
Percentage 5.2 This is a display of the difference in block 2 that must be zero percent for the total distribution.
On execution of the <COMMIT> function, the program will go to block 2 automatically and the code and name will default.

Block 2:  Distribution Information

In this block, multiple records are entered to indicate the distribution. The total distribution must always give a difference of Zero % percent in the following:
Cost Centre A4 Supply the cost centre applicable for this distribution parameter. A <LIST> function containing all active cost centres is available. The name of the cost centre will default in the next field and cannot be updated.
Account N8 Supply the account applicable for this distribution parameter. A <LIST> function containing active accounts for the cost centre, for the financial year of the GL, is available. The name of the account will default in the next field and cannot be updated.
[D]ebit or [C]redit A1 Indicate whether the GLA specified above is to be Debited or Credited.
Percentage Distribution N5.2 Indicate the percentage, to be applied to the transaction amount, applicable to the GLA specified above. The program will validate, per distribution parameter set, that the total percentage allocation for all credit GLAs equals 100. The same validation applies to all debit GLAs. This validation will occur when the <COMMIT> function is executed.
