Cost Center COA Mask
Use Cost Center Mask Create (25.3.9.2.1) to specify the ranges of GL accounts and sub-accounts that you can use in combination with a particular cost center.
You then associate the COA mask with a cost center by specifying the cost center COA mask code in the COA Mask field in the cost center record in Cost Center Create. See
Cost Centers.
If you have activated cost center COA masks in Domain Create, you must specify ranges in at least one of the two grids in Cost Center Mask Create.
Cost Center Mask Create (25.3.9.2.1)
The field character restrictions are the same as those for Sub-Account Mask Create. See
Sub-Account COA Mask.
Example:
Sub-account 25 is assigned the following COA mask:
Sub-Account COA Mask: SAMatrix1 |
GL Account From | GL Account To | Disallowed? |
010 | 1999 | No |
2010 | 3000 | No |
2050 | 2055 | Yes |
Cost center Dept1 is assigned the COA mask, CCMatrix1.
Cost Center COA Mask: CCMatrix1 |
GL Account From | GL Account To | Disallowed? | | Sub-Account From | Sub-Account To | Disallowed? |
010 | 1999 | No | | 01 | 99 | No |
2010 | 3000 | No | | 102 | 199 | No |
2050 | 2055 | Yes | | | | |
The COA masks are used to validate the postings listed in the following table:
Postings and Validation Result
GL Account | Sub-Account | Cost Center | Validated? |
1873 | 100 | Dept1 | No |
2010 | 25 | Dept1 | Yes |
2051 | 10 | Dept1 | No |
3025 | 26 | Dept1 | No |
The posting with GL account 1873 and sub-account 100 fails to validate because sub-account 100 is not defined in the sub-account range for the cost center.
The posting with GL account 2010 and sub-account 25 is validated because both are within valid ranges for the cost center mask and because the sub-account mask assigned to sub-account 25 includes GL account 2010 within its valid ranges.
The posting with GL account 2051 and sub-account 10 fails to validate because GL account 2051 is within a disallowed range.
The posting with GL account 3025 and sub-account 26 fails to validate because GL account 3025 is not within a valid GL account range for COA Mask CCMatrix1.
