Note

The appearance and contents of the Division Accounting Integration Settings tab will change depending on the selection of Accounting Integration type in the Setup > Company Accounting Integration tab.

Differences in appearance and function within the Division Accounting Integration Settings tab based on the selected accounting type are noted as they apply in the topics below.    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Accounting Company Associations

This selection defines the Accounting company to associate with the selected division in WMS. The accounting company contains all of the job information and supplier information used in the Purchasing, Sales Pricing and Scheduling modules for that division. Each WMS division requires an associated Accounting company and is assigned the Default Accounting company at the time the division is created. Use this setting to associate a different Accounting company with the selected division if required.

 

Note

It is first necessary to add the Accounting companies needed under Integration > Accounting > Accounting Integration Settings > Accounting Companies. Doing so will populate the Accounting Company drop-down list in this Setup > Division > Accounting Integration screen.

 

 

Note

The Accounting company associations can be changed, however it is highly recommended that this be done only when absolutely necessary. Changing the accounting company association may result in deletion of Cost Management and supplier data during the next replication. Users are required to enter "yes" at the prompt to confirm the change of an accounting company association.

 

Accounting Division Associations (Explorer Contract Manager V7 Only)

This selection defines the Accounting division to associate with the selected division in WMS. The Explorer Contract Manager accounting division contains the job information and supplier information used in the Purchasing, Sales Pricing and Scheduling modules for that division. When integrating with Explorer Contract Manager V7, each WMS division requires an association with an Accounting company and then an Accounting division which belongs to that Accounting company. Each division is assigned the Default Accounting company at the time the division is created. There is no Accounting division automatically associated with new divisions. Use this setting to associate a different Accounting company and or Accounting division with the selected division.

 

Note

It is first necessary to add the Accounting divisions needed under Integration > Accounting > Accounting Integration Settings > Accounting Divisions Doing so will populate the Accounting Division drop-down list in this Setup > Division > Accounting Integration screen.

Default (Plug) Supplier

The Default (Plug) Supplier drop-down list allows users to assign a specific supplier as the default supplier for the selected division (a default supplier is required). Typically, builders use a “to be determined” (TBD) builder as the default. For more information on the role the default supplier plays in the Scheduling application, see Understanding the Default Supplier.

 

Note

The list of suppliers will appear blank if the synchronization with the integrated Accounting system has not yet occurred. See Accounting Integration for more information.
