Creating and maintaining items - Financial tab

Financial section

Item group

Type or select the item group of the item. Item groups are used to group items for ease of identifying and managing items, and can be created at System ? Logistics ? Item, under INTRASTAT settings. By default, the first item group in a list of item groups that are available in Exact Globe Next is automatically selected when you create a new item. You can still manually change the accounts.

Note: When creating an item group, it is mandatory to specify the revenue, stock, and cost of goods sold accounts for a particular item group. Thus, when an item group is selected, the Revenue, Stock, and Cost of goods sold boxes will be automatically filled according to the respective accounts specified.

Revenue

Type or select the general ledger account where the sales revenue will automatically be credited when the item is sold. By default, the revenue account specified when creating the item group selected will be automatically filled.

Stock

Type or select the general ledger account where stock will automatically be credited when the item is sold and is automatically debited when the item is purchased. By default, the stock account specified when creating the item group selected will be automatically filled.

If you select a general ledger account of the expense type, the item will become an expense item. When the stock account is changed in the item or item group maintenance, the system will recode all the open period transactions. You will have an option to determine whether stock adjustment will be made for closed period transactions. After you change the stock account and save your changes, you will see the Stock ledger conversion screen. You have the option of creating stock position adjustment entries for transactions in closed periods. If you choose to create stock position adjustment entries, you can further proceed to specify the selection criteria for the transactions that you want to adjust. Stock allocation for closed period transactions which fall into the selected criteria will be unallocated.

Cost of goods sold

Type or select the general ledger account where the cost of sales will automatically be debited when the item is sold. By default, the cost of goods sold account specified when creating the item group selected will be automatically filled.

Invoices / items to be received per item

Type or select the invoice/items to be received account where the amount to be invoiced/received will be registered for purchased items that are received from the supplier (creditor). This field is not mandatory and can be left blank. If the invoice/items to be received account is not specified here, the account selected in Invoices / items to be received under General ledger settings in System ? General ? Settings will be used when purchased items are received.

Note: This field is available only if Invoices / items to be received per item is selected under General ledger settings in System ? General ? Settings. The Invoices / items to be received per item setting is available only if the SE1309 E-Purchase license is available. For more information, see General ledger settings.

Asset account

Type or select the general ledger account where every logistic transaction for an asset is recorded.

Type or select the general ledger account to register the sales discounts provided. By default, the corresponding account defined at the Basics tab of the maintenance card of the item group selected at Item group will be used.

Note:

• This is enabled and mandatory only when Gross is selected in Journalize amounts, under the Print section of the Invoice settings. For more information, see Invoice settings.
• If the general ledger accounts are defined at both the item maintenance card and the item group card, the account defined at the item maintenance card will precede the account defined at the item group card.
