This facility allows you to control debtors for the same CRM Customer or Company that is linked to a Sales Ledger account that exists in multiple Sales Ledgers. Once this facility is installed it is not possible to create an account in an individual Sales Ledger company without it first existing in the linked Master Debtors file. With this facility it is possible to control your total debt exposure to one Customer by the use of a Total Exposure report.
If the Master Debtor control is required then in one of the company Sales Ledger file systems, there will be an additional file, SL.mastr, which will hold the account number, name and address and other header details which will become defaults to be used in the creation of the individual debtor records when required in the linked Sales Ledger companies.
Once the SL.mastr file exist in the appropriate Sales Ledger company then an extra menu entry will appear, Master Debtor file, in the appropriate Sales 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 SL.mastr file is done in exactly the same way as when Add/Modifying the SL.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 will be presented with a further form to complete when you click the Create button.
