To add a GL Rule, go to the Settings Manager module from the top of your screen.
Then click on the Add GL Rule option from the GL Rules left side navigation menu:
This will open the GL Rule Editor window:
From here you can enter the:
- GL Rule Title - enter the name of the rule you are creating
- Primary and Secondary Codes - both fields are mandatory and require you to enter the segments for which this rule will be applied. When choosing the Primary Code it must be above the Secondary Code. For example, in your GL Segments could be listed Company, Department and then Account. You could set Company to Department or Account, but you cannot do Account to Company or Department.
Then you will need to add the GL Codes for the Rules to be applied to. The Search Primary and Secondary Codes search fields allow you to look up the GL codes, if your list includes multiple GL Codes.
Once you are done entering all the necessary information, click OK to save.
As soon as you save it, the created rule should be available in the General Ledger Rule List on the GL Rules workspace.
