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.
