I would like to mover the up one notch.
Parent Company========
Profit Center sub Corp===========
Division======
what i would like to see is that the GL main as we have it, is the
Parent Company.
that the numbers in the GL be appended with the partyid of the
Profit Center sub Corp.Division
so in final display of the GL you can have reports at each level.
so the PartyAcctgPreference would have a link to the parent PartyID
then a service that checks and generates the records at the proper level.
I believe we have a list of pre-assigned gl accounts, that the above
would act on.
the structure should allow for more pre-assigned accounts.
