Edit - General Ledger Config - Distribution Interface

Use this option to setup the interface between the Distribution system (MDS) and the General Ledger (MGL), including how transactions are dissected and posted to the General Ledger. You can also use it to setup T accounts to further flag the dissected transactions for reporting.

 

Reference

To setup the interface between MDS and MGL:

  1. Select a company to edit.

Refer to "Selecting a Company to Edit"

  1. Select EDIT | GENERAL LEDGER CONFIG | DISTRIBUTION INTERFACE.

Micronet displays the Config GL Interface (Distribution) screen.

  1. Complete the following fields:

 

Field

Value

 

Interface to GL

Select Yes if you want Micronet to automatically transfer sales, stock and debtors’ information from MDS to the Micronet General Ledger system. This initiates integration between MDS and MGL.

If you select Yes in this field, you need to setup the GL Interface master file containing a GL interface record for each supplier in the Supplier master file (refer to "File - GL Interface").

 

Use T Accounts

Select Yes if you want to use T accounts in integration between MDS and MGL. This activates T accounts in both systems, enabling the T1 to T5 Account fields on screens for each type of transaction.

Using T accounts requires customised GL interface records that complement the coding system you have setup in the T Account master file in MGL (refer to "File - T Accounts"). You setup these customised GL interface records using the Config T Accounts screen (refer to the next section "Configuring T Accounts").

 

Distribution Period No

Select the GL period that transactions will update to in the General Ledger, i.e. the current period in Distribution. Every transaction processed in MDS will be tagged with the period number set at this option. When performing an End of Month in MDS, Micronet automatically rolls over to the next period.
