Control Account Utility (uxctrl.p)

The conversion routines must know which accounts are used as Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable control accounts in the AR and AP modules of the pre-conversion installation.

The conversion cannot determine this information because the routines overlook accounts not referenced to customers, suppliers, or transactions.

The utility prompts you for lists of account codes currently used as control accounts. If it is current practice, you can specify the same account for AR and AP. However, the GL Account Type Utility will ultimately indicate that one of these accounts must be different after conversion. See GL Account Type Utility (uxglacup.p) for more information.

Run this utility as many times as necessary. Previous answers are displayed and can be removed if desired. For eB2.1 and later, it is run in each active domain.

The GL Account Type Utility, Data Preparation Report, and the conversion later use the inputs to this utility.

This utility determines the GL account codes to define as customer and supplier control accounts within Enterprise Edition. It does not affect the current system or transactions. It only creates QAD Work Table (qad_wkfl) records that store the user’s input values.

Note: If the source database does not use the Accounts Payable and/or Accounts Receivable modules, and the Chart of Accounts does not contain default General Ledger account codes for Customer and/or Supplier Control Accounts, create new General Ledger accounts. Reference them within the utility for each domain if the source database version is eB2.1 or above. You also reference these account codes elsewhere within the database. However, the output from other pre-conversion utilities directs the user as necessary.
