Knowledge Article: Map a Non-Commissionable Item Code to a GL Account

The following instructions are designed to assist you in mapping an Item Code to a specific general ledger account while ignoring the Authority, Move Type, and Commodity of the order. There are certain scenarios when a MoversSuite Item Code must post to specific general ledger account regardless of Authority, Move Type, or Commodity set on the order. For these cases, we suggest you create and reference non-commissionable Item Codes using the Item Code Generation screen (Fig. 1).
