• Use default daybooks to group fixed assets, inventory control, work order, and certain non-invoice sales order transactions. You can control the granularity of daybook assignments by defining default daybooks based on transaction type, document type, or entity. If your business does not require this level of control, you can simply assign all operational transactions to a system daybook. See Defining Default Daybooks.

• Use daybook sets to control which daybooks are assigned to specific kinds of AR and AP transactions created when sales order invoices and purchase order receipts are posted. Separate menu programs let you define daybook sets for the entire domain or for specified sites. Select the method your company uses with the Use Daybook by Site option in Sales Order Accounting Control (36.9.6) and Purchasing Accounting Control (36.9.5). For sales orders and purchase orders, you must define at least one daybook set to serve as the default. See Defining Daybook Sets.
