About GL20.6

Use System Accounting Units (GL20.6) to select the accounting units associated with the system accounts defined using System Accounts (GL00.7). If all your system accounts come from the balance sheet section of the chart of accounts, you need to enter an accounting unit only in the Balance Sheet field. If any of you system accounts come from the income statement section of the chart of accounts, you must enter accounting units in both the Balance Sheet field and the Income Statement field. **Processing Effect The retained earnings and undistributed retained earnings system accounts are always balance sheet accounts. Consequently, the General Ledger system always uses the balance sheet accounting unit when processing transactions that involve these two accounts. The other system accounts (error suspense, currency gain, currencytranslation, report currency adjustment and auto adjustment) can be either balance sheet accounts or income statement accounts. When processing transactions thatinvolve these system accounts, the General Ledger system uses the balance sheetaccounting unit for balance sheet system accounts, and the income statement accounting unit for income statement system accounts.
