Determining transaction entity ownership

Each transaction generated within iMIS is made up of two or more transaction entry lines. Each individual transaction line can be one of the following:

  • a cash line, representing a cash payment or reversal
  • a distribution line, typically representing an entry to income
  • an AR line, normally representing an offset to the accounts receivable account

A due to/due from (see DueTo/DueFrom processing) situation arises when there is a difference between the entity assigned to the cash line (for example, representing the cash account into which the funds are deposited) and the entity assigned to either a distribution/income or AR line within the same transaction.

The accounts to which transaction lines are assigned depends on the iMIS module and on iMIS configuration options.
