In this activity, you define matchcodes for the G/L account master records. If you want to change or display a G/L account master record, but no longer know the account number, you can search for it using a so-called matchcode. The system saves certain fields from a G/L account master record in the matchcode. You can search for the G/L account using these fields, the so-called matchcodes.
Matchcodes are made up from the master data tables via database views and database indexes (= update type I).
Example
You are looking for a specific G/L account number, but you only know the long text name of the account and its company code. Using a matchcode search with the company code or long text, you can find the G/L account number.
Standard settings
The standard system has four matchcode IDs for G/L accounts:
- The matchcode with the identification S allows you to search via the G/L account text.
- The matchcode with the identification N allows you to search via parts of the G/L account number.
- The matchcode with the identification K allows you to search via key words. The key words for the accounts must be entered in the chart of accounts area.
- The matchcode with the identification C allows you to search via G/L account numbers in the chart of accounts.
The matchcode object for G/L accounts is called SAKO. The matchcode object basically determines which database tables and which fields are required for the matchcode IDs. You can create several matchcode IDs for one matchcode object. The matchcode ID determines which fields and/or combinations of fields are used in searches.
Note
Since the search fields for the G/L account long text (SKAT-TXT50) and short text (SKAT-TXT20) are case sensitive, a substitute field has been created for these fields. All entries in the search field belonging to the subsitute are automatically converted to capital letters in this substitute field (SKAT-MCODF). Therefore, when entering a G/L account long or short text in a matchcode selection, you do have to worry about making uppercase or lowercase entries.
Caution
If in addition to the matchcode IDs supplied with the standard software you need other matchcode IDs in which the field for the G/L account long text or short text should also be included, you have to enter the matchcode field SKAT-MCODF for the search field (SKAT-TXT50 or SKAT-TXT20) into the matchcode ID field list.
Activities
- Find out which matchcodes are needed in your company.
- Check the standard matchcodes. It is very important that the required fields are specified in the correct sequence. Add your own matchcode IDs if necessary.
- If you want to be able to search using key words, you should determine rules by which the key words are to be formed. Make sure that the key words are entered in the chart of accounts area of the G/L accounts.
