Definition

Specifies which adjustment method the Inflation Accounting programs use when adjusting these G/L accounts.

Procedure

If the G/L accounts are reconciliation accounts for accounts receivable or accounts payable, select Reconciliation accounts.

If the accounts are ordinary G/L accounts, select which adjustment method you want to use:

  • Balance Method

    The system adjusts the G/L account balance for inflation and creates one inflation adjustment document for the G/L account.

  • Line Item Method (One Document Per Account)

    The system calculates the inflation adjustment amount for each line item individually and creates one adjustment document for each inflation adjustment amount.

    This method requires a lot of system resources, so we recommend that you use it only where absolutely necessary.

  • Line Item Method (One Document Per Line Item)

    The system calculates the inflation adjustment amount for each line item individually but posts them using a single inflation adjustment document.

Note that you can only use the last two methods for G/L accounts that meet both of the following criteria:

  • Are managed on an open item basis
  • Allow line item display

Dependencies

When you come to adjust your accounts for inflation, the Inflation Adjustment of G/L Accounts program adjusts all ordinary G/L accounts with this inflation key using this adjustment method.

Reconciliation accounts are adjusted by whichever of the following programs is appropriate:

  • Inflation Adjustment of Open Items in Foreign Currency
  • Inflation Adjustment of Open Receivables in Local Currency
  • Inflation Adjustment of Open Payables in Local Currency

The system only adjusts reconciliation accounts using the balance method.
