Values used for summary account

Hi All ,

In General Ledger parameter , there is a field called Values used for summary account and it has two options accounting distributions and source document ?

Could any pioneer can explain about these two options in details ?

I believe you worked on distributing Amounts.

In PO you have selected an item and if you go to financials>distribute Amounts, you can distribute the amount to multiple departments or multiple accounts.

In distribute amounts form, Initially you will see one account which is linked to Item’s item group, this is Source. You can distribute it to multiple dimensions.

The setting which you mentioned is applicable to Summary account & the distribution.

Assuming POLine amount is 1000,source is Xaccount. You equally distributed Purch line to X account-Dep1(50%), X account - Dep2(50%).

when parameter is set to Source document:

After Invoicing, your summary account will have only one entry Summary account - 1000

when it is set to Source document:

After Invoicing, your summary account will have two entries summary account - Dep1 -500, Summary Account - Dep2 - 500

Hope it helps.
