Account Mapping
Which ledger accounts manufacturing posts to.
Early access. Manufacturing can be installed from the App Store, but it is still being proven in real use, so this screen may change.
Overview
Account mapping tells Accounting which accounts to use for raw materials, WIP, finished goods, variances and overhead. Each row says which posting reads it. Auto-map fills only empty rows and marks them “Suggested”, and posting cannot be switched on until you tick that you have reviewed the mapping. The same editor appears under Accounting → Settings → Manufacturing.
When to use account mapping
- You set up manufacturing posting for the first time.
Prerequisites
Step by step
In the Manufacturing module open Costing in the green navigation bar, then choose Account Mapping under Rates & Accounts.
