JDE – define AAI account Sub on a Customer level (P40950)

Problem: you are trying to post a sales order (R42800) and in a Work Center you see errors that account BU.OBJ is not valid or is not opened for posting. When you compare previously posted sales orders the Sub was magically assigned automatically. What is going on?

JDE Sales Order accounting capabilities is a magical story. You can define the account Subsidiary on a customer or item level.

First, you define your P40950 AAI Sales AAI with blank Sub (Subsidiaries).

Then, you enable flex accounting as a processing option in R42800.

Next, you set up your flex accounting rules using P40296 by Co, by AAI and by desired portion of the account (BU, Sub, range of OBJ accounts).

You can even specify whether to use Bill-To or Ship-to addresses.

And finally, using Address Book Master (P01012) you enter the Sub value per each customer using the Cat Code specified in P40296.

Very cool!
