Overview of transactions posted to specific ledger accounts

Transactions are posted to specific ledger accounts as follows:

  • Project identity and category are specified on the transaction.

  • The project specifies if project transactions should be posted by project or by category.

  • When a transaction is posted, Microsoft Dynamics AX searches through the configurations in the form.

  • Microsoft Dynamics AX searches first for a posting combination with a specific project and a specific category; if it does not find this combination, the search continues using the priorities listed above. The search continues till the least specific combination (All/All), is found.
