G/L Splitting Codes

The purpose of G/L Splitting Codes is to set up General Ledger splits or distributions so that a split can be substituted in other programs in place of a single GL Account. For example, on certain Freight Bills, you may wish to split freight revenue and/or accessorial charges among more than one GL Account. GL Accounts are configured using the GL Chart of Accounts program.
