Account Segmentation: How to relate OACT.Segment_* to OASC (OASG)?

Hello,
I'm learning SAP B1 and i'm trying to understand segmented account code information.
I understand that a segmented account code looks like: 12100000-01-001-01
where
12100000 is the natural account
01 is a division
001 is a region
and the last 01 is a department.
I assume that the account code above is the concatenation of OACT.Segment_* fields separated with dashes (-).
Is there a relationship between OACT.Segment_* and OASC (account Segmentation categories) or OASG (Account Segmentation)?
How can I tell that 01 is a division code and it's not a department code?
It's seems like the key field for OASC is the combination of SegmentId (OASG) and Code. If OACT.Segment_* are mapped to OASG.Code then where can I get SegmentId which is the other key for OASC?
Thank you very much,
Jules

Hello Gordon,
Thanks for responding and also for showing me FORMATCODE field.
I'm sorry I'm  not sure if I understand what you mean by: "Segment accounts are starting with _SYS by unique id".
What would  a FORMATCODE for a segmented account code like 12100000-01-0001-01 look like? Please show an example using  _SYS and a unique id that you mentioned.
I'm sorry my sample database does not have any segment data. I'm trying to understand how to relate segment informtation, but I do not know how I can go from, possibly, FORMATCODE to OASC or OASG.
Thanks for your help.
Jules

    I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account. How can I buy an iTunes gift card for a relative who lives in another country?

    Sorry, but it's quite possible that you can't. If there's an Apple Store in the country to which you want to give the gift, you can call them ask ask if they'll accept a Canadian credit card for a gift card purchase to be shipped to an address in the relative's country. If they won't, then you'd have to find an independent reseller in that country that carries iTunes gift cards who could accept your credit card, and there may be none.

  • How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values?

    How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values? I'm using the Integrator named "Projects - Transaction Import" and a custom Layout created based on the seeded Layout named "Transaction Import - Accounted". Do I need to somehow change my Layout to make the Document accept numerical values instead of requiring alpha-numeric values? I need to be able to populate the Document with a large amount of transactions and cannot feasibly go through every transaction to add the alpha-valued name of the account segment to every segment that requires it. The segments in particular causing the problem are "Expnd Type" and "Organization Name" which are both alpha-numeric and as such contain the segment number and name; I need to be able to only have to enter the Natural Account Number (6-digit number only) and the Organization Number (5-digit number only).

  • GL roll ups for Account Segments

    Hi All,
    How is it to extract the data from tables to show the roll ups of the account segments. We dont have roll up groups for account flexfields defined but have parent /child defined.
    for example: certain accounts fall under this category and certain team/department falls under this business unit.
    Please let me know how we can get that relational data from backend tables.

  • Basic Account Segment Category Error

    Hi,
         I am relatively new to the Data Tool Workbench and I am trying to import the GL Account Segment Category names.  I have reviewed the DTW sample for this integration and created my source file accordingly.  The error I am getting for all rows is..."No matching record found ODBC - 2028 Application defined or user-defined errorAccountSegmentCategories".
    I have searched the forum and found threads relating to importing the COA, but none addressing issues specifically relating to the account segment categories.   I have also printed off many of the COA instruction manuals mentioned in the threads, but haven't found anything that can help with importing account segment categories.
    Thanks

    Ok, upon reading Julie response and Gordon's latest it appears that perhaps I have misunderstood the purpose of importing the segment categories. 
    Julie - I tried to manually enter the various different versions of the natural segment (1st segment 4 digits) in my chart (e.g. 1117, 1118 etc..), but B1 doesn't allow me to do so.  Double clicking on the Natural segment row doesn't open up the entry window like it does when do so for my 2nd and 3rd segments. 
    Gordon - "IF" I interpret your latest post correctly the account segemnt category import is for importing only various versions of account segments which are NOT the natural segment.  Thus I can enter as many different numbers for my 2nd and 3rd segments since they are NOT my natural segment.  This would explain why B1 doesn't all me to enter any of my various natural segment codes. 
    If my assumption above is correct then my only question is how does B1 know that segment 1 is my natural segment?  I am still learning the details of B1 (obviously), but don't recall seeing anywhere in the software where a segment is spefically identified as being the natural.  I doubt B1 is simply programmed to require segment 1 to be the natural as I have seen many companys that incorporate the natural in segments other than the first in their account structure.
    Any thoughts?

  • My family has separate icloud accounts, but we want to share an iTunes account.  How do we do that?

    My family has separate icloud accounts, but we want to share an iTunes account.  How do we do that?

    This is still not related to iCloud. Suppose your son has his own iTunes library. He connects his iPod to that, and the contents of his library are transferred to his iPod.
    Now he connects to your Library; and his iPod is wiped and the contents of your Library transferred to it.
    Any workaround is going to involve manual operation or sharing, and is outside my experience. Your best bet would be to start a new thread and ask about sharing different people's libraries, without mentioning iCloud which is a red herring.

  • I have the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) turned on. The photos from my iPhone do get uploaded to the iCloud. The photos are then downloaded to my wife's iPhone (we share the iCloud account). How do I keep the photos from downloading to my wife's iPhone

    I do not want all the photos from my iPhone downloading to my wife's iPhone from iCloud? We share an iCloud account. How can I prevent the download to my wife's iPhone from iCloud. .The "Upload to My Photo Stream" is turned off on my iPhone. . I am running 8.1.3. 
    I have a related question. In order to same space on my iPhone is there a way to upload the photos to the iCloud and then delete them from my iPhone.

    The way to keep the photos from downloading to your wife's phone would be for her to go to Settings > iCloud > Photos > and turn off iCloud Photo Library. If that isn't an option, the other option would be for her to have her own Apple ID ( and possibly explore the new family sharing options https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/ )
    Regarding the "related question" see the quotes below from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album.
    If you want to reduce the space used by photos on your phone, rather than deleting them see the following:
    How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
    You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

    When im trying to download a free App an error appears and sais that my previously purchase was declined.how is related a free app with a paying one?

    Because that's the way you setup your account. Whether the app is free or not is irelevent, apparently the payment method you selected when originally setting up your account is no longer valid, hence your account is not longer valid. Either fix your selected payment method or setup a new app store account without a credit card:

  • Posting periods and account segmentation

    the company has several suboffice/division, but they want all under one company in B1. also they receive some of they invoices 2 months lates. Data migration will go back 2 years. So what is best way to set up posting period and account segmentation.

    Hello,
    Take a look at this thread and copied to your notepad :
    Division in SAP Business One
    about how to create suboffice/division.
    The posting period can be created go back more than 1 years from now as long when performing data migration, do not forget to set the current period that match with your data dates. The invoices and other opening balances can be migrated using DTW templates.
    So, I suggest you could create posting period more than 2 years ago in the last time and create 2 segmented accounts consists of sub office and division beside natural account. E.g. :
    12111-01-02 : 12111 is natural account, 01 is suboffice code and 02 is division.
