LUFI-20501 Destinations

LU Introduction

The Analytical Destination is used to complete the information linked to an expense account (G/L accounts). With UniField you will associate each expense line entry to one of the four (4) analytical destinations (depending on how this expense/cost is going to be used). These destinations are:

• Operations
• Support (e.g. office cost, evaluation study, training, consultant)
• National Staff
• Expatriates

The analytical destination is an analytical dimension defined in the {Analytic Accounts} sub-module. When it is set, this dimension is reflected by default in the related expense accounts.

One expense account is linked to at least one default destination and one destination can be used in several expense accounts.

In this example, the account 63200 is associated to 2 destinations and defaults to Operations destination.
