A code that determines the trade account that the system uses as the offset when you post invoices or vouchers. The system concatenates
the value that you enter to the AAI item RC (for Accounts Receivable) or PC (for Accounts Payable) to locate the trade account. For
example, if you enter TRAD, the system searches for the AAI item RCTRAD (for receivables) or PCTRAD (for payables).
You can assign up to four
alphanumeric characters to represent the G/L offset or you can assign the three-character currency code (if you enter transactions in a
multicurrency environment). You must, however, set up the corresponding AAI item for the system to use; otherwise, the system ignores the G/L
offset and uses the account that is set up for PC or RC for the company specified.
If you set up a default value in the G/L Offset field of the
customer or supplier record, the system uses the value during transaction entry unless you override it.
Note: Do not use code 9999. It is reserved for
the post program and indicates that offsets should not be created.

A code that identifies a specific organization, fund, or other reporting entity. The company code must already exist in the Company
Constants table (F0010) and must identify a reporting entity that has a complete balance sheet. At this level, you can have intercompany
transactions.
Note: You can use company 00000 for default values such as dates and automatic accounting instructions. You cannot use company 00000
for transaction entries.

An alphanumeric code that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track costs. For example, a business unit
might be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, branch, or plant.
You can assign a business unit to a document, entity, or person for
purposes of responsibility reporting. For example, the system provides reports of open accounts payable and accounts receivable by
business unit to track equipment by responsible department.
Business unit security might prevent you from viewing information about business units
for which you have no authority.
