Organisational units on vouchers

The organisational unit specified in the General ledger account table is suggested whenever a voucher is entered for the relevant account.

If a voucher is entered for two general ledger accounts linked to different departments, the account you enter first determines the organisational unit. You can change the definition for individual voucher lines during voucher entry by returning to the organisational unit field. If an organisational unit is entered for an account batch, all the vouchers entered in the batch (for which no other organisational units are defined in the same class) are posted for the organisational unit concerned.

A voucher can also be distributed between different organisational units according to predefined distribution keys. You can also budget on the basis of organisational units.
