Source Code Table

Specifies the entries that are created in the financial statements when you post journals, orders, invoices, or credit memos, and when you run various batch jobs.

Sometimes you need to see how a particular entry arose. For example you might want to see whether it came from posting a general journal or a purchase invoice. To do this, use the Source Code and Source Code Setup tables.

When you post or run a batch job, the proper source code is automatically attached to the entry. For example, when you post from the general journal, the entry is coded as GENJNL.

To see where a given entry comes from, you can go to the relevant entry table, such as G/L Entry, Cust. Ledger Entry, Vendor Ledger Entry, and Item Ledger Entry, and look at the contents of the Source Code field next to the entry.

If the entry table window does not contain the Source Code field, you must insert it yourself.

The Source Code table contains all possible source codes.

The Source Code Setup table contains all posting methods (from the general journal, from a purchase invoice, and so on) and the names of all the batch jobs that create entries. Next to each posting method or batch job is a source code that is an abbreviation for it. For example:

GENJNL General Journal
