Where do the numbers go?

We sent our accounting types to the workshop. Perhaps a bit premature.
Too much time learning the basics of vantage and not enough hardcore
information on how specific transactions flow. Luckily as an MIS individual
I was a able to forego this class. As far as the online help I have found
the majority of screens to have an unbearable way of stating the obvious ie.
work center is the work center where this op is performed, and not enough in
depth info.
She knows what the accounts are. She has some very specific questions
regarding amounts being shown on some accounts and not on others and what
reports to use when looking for specific account info. My lack off
accounting knowledge has left her stranded. Is there anyone out there who
could speak with her offline? It would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
TIA
Mark

This one is for all you bean counters. We still are not live but we
are getting close. Our head bean counter would like to speak with
someone who has a good handle with Vantage 5.0. When setting up the
Company Configuration where you have to identify the control
accounts, does anyone have a good handle on how the various
transactions flow through the system? An example of these screens
printed would be very helpful and a system flow explanation.

First place to start should be the on line help. Do a search for control
accounts. The two most helpful listings or "Defining Control Accounts" and
"How does Vantage assign G/L account numbers to Inventory transactions?"
Those two help files will probably answer most of his questions. If not as
he is on the screen setting up the accounts if he hits the help button there
is usually a definition associated which each type of account they are
looking for with an example.

Hope that gives you a place to start.

There's a spreadsheet I uploaded to file files page, under the admin
section, titled Vantage_5_Transaction_GL_Hierarchy.xls that might explain
some of what you're looking for. For each type of transaction, it shows
the places Vantage checks to assign GL numbers. In most cases, the
accounts in the Company Config are the last ditch default, if all else
fails. For example on a part, it first checks for a GL# specific to the
part, the a Part Class Code, and only if both those are undefined does it
drop back to the control accounts.

Here's a link, though line wrap may botch it:

Has he/she reviewed the online help pages? Might want to send one or two
accounting types to the controllers' workshop.
