COA Mask
The conversion creates a COA mask range for every Code Range Master (cr_mstr) range in the source database. All pre-existing Account Sub-Account Cost Center Master (asc_mstr) records (combinations used in historical transactions) are deleted.
For MFG/PRO versions below eB2, the Code Range Master table is populated from sub-account and cost center combinations from the following tables as part of the conversion to QAD Enterprise Edition:
• Sub-Account/Account Validation Detail (sbd_det) table
• Cost Center Account Validation Detail (ccd1_det) table
• Cost Center Sub-Account Validation Detail (ccd2_det) table
When converting a GL account, the conversion uses the ranges in Code Range Master to determine whether the account uses cost center or project analysis. If an account:
• Does not use cost center or project analysis, the analysis type is set to None
• Only uses project analysis, the analysis type is set to Project
• Only uses cost center analysis, the analysis type is set to Cost Center
• Uses both cost center and project, the analysis type is set to Both
Note: For MFG/PRO versions below 9.0, project code ranges are set to All. This means that these project codes are valid for use with all accounts that allow project analysis (as defined in the GL Account/Project Range Utility).
The conversion only assigns a default cost center to an account if its analysis type is Cost Center. Similarly, the conversion only assigns a default project to an account if its analysis type is Project.
If an account has an analysis type of Both or None, the conversion sets the account’s analysis limitation to None, and the default values are left blank. However, there is one exception to this rule. In QAD Enterprise Financials, if an account has a posting type of Automatic and an analysis type of Both, set the analysis limitation to Both. Also assign the account a default cost center and project.
