Would you please consider voting for this ER:
Our team converted from Infinium to FSM recently and one of the main items missing was the ability to use the short code. A short code is exactly what is says a shorter code than the entire GL number. For example, let's say you have the following Finance Structure - (Company, Region, Store, Department) = (55-100-7000-456). With the proposed solution, you could create a short code of 456 and then entered it would pull in 55-100-7000-456, then you enter your account code, review it and you have the entire GL number with very few keystrokes. This is the beauty of it - you identify what your short code is for each account that you use weekly and monthly and set them up. We would need this to be provided on upload from Spreadsheet designer and for interfaces too.
Our older software allowed us to use this same structure throughout all the modules that would feed into GL therefore everyone was using the same short codes. You will need someone to manage it to remove old codes that are no longer used and add new ones plus communicating them, but we have found it saves a lot of time.
Add the short code to all entry screens, all upload options and all interface processes/screens, give customers a way to manage it to keep it up to date. Provide this solution to all areas of FSM (GL, AP, FA, Procurement, AR, etc.) and Payroll (aka any module that posts to GL).
