If a
transaction in MAXIMO involves cost (e.g. Work Order actuals), the cost need to
hit a GL account (rather two, debit and credit). In order to setup the GL
accounts, following steps need to be taken in sequence:
1. "GL account configuration" action item in "Database Configuration" application. Here you specify the number and details of segments, your chart of accounts should have. For example, you can have 1st segment as Cost Center, 2nd as Activity and so on. You can also specify the length of the segment. Here you also specify that this segment is mandatory or not during a transaction.
2. Use "GL Component Maintenance" action item in "Chart of Accounts" application to specify the values for the segments you have defined in previous step. e.g. values 100, 200, 300 etc for 1st segmentCost Center
3. Use main tab in "Chart of Accounts" application to combine these segments to form a GL account for an organization. e.g. 100-A5 for a particular activity within a particular cost center.
Here are the underlying tables GL accounts:
GLCONFIGURE: Structure of a GL account is defined here
GLCOMPONENTS: All the possible values of individual segments are specified here [ segments are referred to as GL orders in table]
CHARTOFACCOUNTS: All the valid combinations of segments\components [valid GL account ] are listed here
