Hi,

I have a probleme with my inventery software.
i can't add a new controle account, i create 20 controle account and it's de maximum i think. But i can't delete one of my controle account for make a new one. I NEW THIS NEW ACCOUNT !

Please Help Me

Hello belanger20,

Adagio Inventory has a maximum of 20 control accounts. If you print out a list of the control accounts, perhaps some are actually referencing the same g/l accounts and could be collapsed into a single account?

Why do you need so many control accounts? Perhaps there's another way to accomplish what you are trying to do.

Ok.. i have a lot of controle accounts because we are a compagnie with diverse products, and if i would know the benefice we make with one product, we can separate all the product.

Maybe i can put 2 controles account in one, But it's your only solution?

Thanks Kenny

Hello Kenny,

Control accounts are used to send the COGS to the general ledger and to control the costing method. What type of reporting are you trying to accomplish? Categories control the revenue accounts. What about the reports in Inventory control? Are they not providing the analysis you need? or SalesAnalysis?

What specifically are you trying to report on? I've seen inventories with almost 100,000 parts that only used a couple of control accounts.

Imagine that under the organisation that we have auto parts sales, products that we fabric by assembly (4 major line of products), raw materiel for the fabrication departement and also a line of hydraulics parts, etc.

Actually we are merging from a repair shop to a fabrication shop.

To operate the repair shop we have a lot of non stock item (for example welding oxygen tank that we used for the repair and the fabrication), But we are also selling those parts to customer sometime to time.

So to be able to generated a selling price for the non stock part I created a categorie control (line product) and a control accounts to generate the COGS (credit in the normally expense account and debit into a GL account COGS) so that way the expense account reflect the real cost for the operation of the organisation.
The needs for an account set will depend on the GL expense account and is departement.

So far my method was doing OK

When we merge to Counter Sales intead of QInvoice I had to create Inventory Item for Labour, Transport, etc., with an categorie code and a account set, because sundy item into Counter Sales was not available. The account set for these items is working like a Clearing Account (INV. APclearing, Ad.W.Off, Ass. Cost are the same).

So more account sets are needed.

Actually I have 9 account set for the inventoy, 5 account set for the non stock item,
4 more since we installed Counter Sales.

Maybe I missed something, the quantity of account set is relative to the software that we are using. (no sundy item for example)

Hello Monique,

If you use a different location code in Inventory for the different areas of your enterprise, then Inventory can automatically generate a different department depending on the location the item was shipped from.

Would that help here?
