This topic reviews how to prevent selected GL Natural Accounts from being processed by a direct GL Journal in Epicor, restricting their processing to the subledger, i.e. Accounts Receivable, Cash Management, Accounts Payable etc.
The Epicor Hierarchy reference guides in Epicor Documentation give provide basic information about transactions that hit GL by subledger.
The Epicor Implementation Guide documents restricting functions to the subledger. Here’s an example:
Use Account Entry Restricted Functions to indicate which Epicor Functions can have Natural Account restrictions.
Then, in Account Segment Values > Natural Account Options > Restrictions, you can restrict particular Natural Account Values to the subledger only.
Posting a GL Journal to the account is now restricted and issues an error:
Invalid GL Account 11100|4166|000|00 for Journal 416 Line 1: Segment Chart: the segment value 11100 is blocked for entry in current application
Invalid GL Account 11100|4166|000|00 for Journal 416 Line 2: Segment Chart: the segment value 11100 is blocked for entry in current applicationYou can use FastClose to research what transactions hit a GL Account.
Using the GL Journal Detail template, filter for Journal GL and the Account you’re researching.
