This facility allows you to control creditor accounts for the same CRM customer or company that is linked to a Purchase Ledger account that exists in multiple Purchase Ledgers. When this facility is installed it is not possible to create an account in an individual Purchase Ledger company without it first existing in the linked Master Creditors file.
If the Master Creditor control is required then, in one of the company Purchase Ledger file systems, there will be an additional file, PL.mastr, which holds the account number, name and address and other header details that become defaults to be used in the creation of the individual debtor records when required in the linked Purchase Ledger companies.
When the PL.mastr file exists in the appropriate Purchase Ledger company, an extra menu entry appears, Master Creditor file, in the appropriate Purchase Ledger company. This menu entry when present is access- and priority-level driven the same as any other menu entry in Autoline.
The Searching, Creation, Amendment and Deletion of account codes in PL.mastr file is done in exactly the same way as when Add/Modifying the PL.accts file.
Note: If the system parameter 'Update master account links' is switched on and you are creating an account with a CRM Company record link you are presented with a further form to complete when you click the Create button.
