If you set up a pseudo account in the Pseudo account file for a particular account, or account combination, you will no longer need to enter the full account, but instead enter an abbreviated pseudo account during manual transaction entry.

  1. Select the Work with pseudo accounts menu item.
  2. On the main panel, click Add.
  3. You access the detail panel. Complete the following fields:
    4. Pseudo
    Enter a pseudo account code. The pseudo account is an alphanumeric code. It is mandatory that the first character is a letter. The number of characters in the code must be less than or equal to the number of characters as in the main account part.
    Note: Trailing blanks can have different meanings for ordinary accounts and pseudo accounts when entering transactions. For ordinary accounts that do not allow trailing blanks, the blanks are changed into trailing zeros, but for pseudo accounts, trailing blanks are blanks. For this reason, you should not establish identical “shortened” main accounts and pseudo accounts.
    Description
    Enter text describing the pseudo account.
    Account number
    For each of the valid account parts, enter the account number that the pseudo account should replace. The combination codes for the main account controls which account parts are valid. Caution: If the authority control is active for this function, then you will only have access to the values to which you are authorised.

    Click OK.

    Conclusion
    During the transaction enquiry or manual entry of invoices in the G/L you will only have to enter the pseudo account code that you specified in Pseudo in the main account part instead of the complete account string that you specified under Account number. Exit the routine.
