Weekly Dynamic: Fixed Allocation Accounts http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2006/09/weekly-dynamic-fixed-allocation.html
Allocation accounts have been in Dynamics for a long time but a lot of people still don't use them. Today we'll look at the simplest version, fixed allocation accounts.
With fixed allocation accounts you apportion costs based on a fixed percentage. Allocation accounts always have a zero balance. Transactions posted to an allocation account get their amounts split to the underlying accounts based on the percentages setup…

From the Newsgroups: What are those GL entries with reference SALESASMxxxx? http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/2010/07/from-newsgroups-what-are-those-gl.html
Welcome to another edition of
From the Newsgroups.
The Microsoft Dynamics GP Online Partner Technical Community forum is one of those virtual places where you get to see and experience it all. One gets to become familiar with real life issues experienced by us partners keen enough to share our implementation and support issues. The following is a thread from the Online Partner Technical Community:
Good afternoon. Our customer keeps getting these "mystery" GL postings [SALESASMxxxx] and wants to know why they are being generated but I cannot find any article or search that shows this document prefix for GP. Does anyone know what type of doc this is and why it may be generated automatically into GL?

Tristan Thor Clores, a Microsoft Support Engineer.

Then when the BOM that fulfilled the shortage was posted its unit cost was different from what the invoice held.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example:
Let's pretend that we have a $0.00 balance in the Inventory-Finished Goods account. An invoice was posted with a shortage override for 10 units of…

Time for another Belinda-ism…

The GL should contain as much detail as possible. (It’s…
