On the Chart of Accounts errors report there will be an error message:
E.g. NL account code 0000 9420 Cost centre is not B/S cost centre for specified division
To check the Accounting division for the cost centre 0000, navigate to the following:
•From the Master Menu, select Nominal Ledger option and the Company required
•Select Add/modify cost centres from the Nominal Ledger menu
•In Cost centre enter e.g. 0000
•Note the Accounting division e.g. 00
To check the Accounting division for expense code 9420, navigate to the following:
•From the Nominal Ledger menu, select Add/modify expense codes
•In Expense code enter e.g. 9420
•Note Accounting division e.g. 01
•Note if Cost centre analysis is set to N or Y
If the Expense code should be attached to various cost centre, Cost centre analysis should be set to Y.
If the Expense code should only be attached to one cost centre, Cost centre analysis should be set to N and Accounting division should be the same in Cost centre and Expense code.
Note: If the Expense code has the Bank account set to Y then the Cost centre analysis should be set to N. Each accounting division should have its own bank account so you may need to create a new expense code specifically for the other accounting division e.g 0000 9420 for divison 00 and 0100 9421 for division 01 rather than using 0100 9420
