CGI Advantage Financial, special accounts are accounting structures that the system uses in the implementation of an accounting model. These accounts may be used by the application as default values for accounting line posting. These accounts may also inherit special constraints and behaviors. However, it is not possible to enter these accounting elements in an accounting distribution of a transaction.
The System Special Accounts (SPEC) table provides fields to support CGI Advantage Financial subsystems. The Accounts Payable Defaults tab on the SPEC table has several fields that apply to intercept functionality. For more information about the System Special Accounts table, refer to the "Special Accounts & Special Fund Accounts" topic in the CGI Advantage - Financial Administration User Guide.
The fields on the SOPT table that impact Intercept functionality are discussed below:
