Xilnex-AutoCount - Account Code Mapping

Xilnex-AutoCount - Account Code Mapping

Account Code Mapping connects Xilnex transaction components (sales types, item categories, payment methods) to AutoCount GL accounts and payment codes. This ensures transactions post to the correct financial accounts.

What Is Account Code Mapping?

Account Code Mapping establishes the relationship between:
  1. Xilnex transaction attributes (e.g., "Retail sale", "Coffee category", "Cash payment")
  2. AutoCount GL codes (e.g., "500-5000 Coffee Sales", "310-1000 Cash Account")
Without mapping, the system doesn't know which GL account to use when posting.
