GL Ranges

This help topic is applicable to the following TireMaster applications:

TireMaster Point of Sale	TireMaster Plus	TireMaster Corporate

TireMaster uses GL ranges to verify that account numbers fall within the numerical range allowed for an account type, such as asset or liability. When you set up a new a general ledger account, TireMaster compares the major account number to the account type. If the account number doesn’t belong in the GL range for the account type, TireMaster displays a warning. To save the new account, you need to enter a valid account number or select a valid account type.

Default GL Ranges

New TireMaster systems ship with a set of default GL ranges (shown below). It includes five primary ranges for general account types and 13 secondary ranges for the kinds of accounts that can be grouped under the general account types.

Note: The default GL ranges meet current accounting standards. In almost all cases, the ranges for assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses should not be changed. Before you update the GL ranges, contact your accountant.

Update GL Ranges

The GL ranges can be updated by changing the account numbers used for a range or associating a secondary range with a different primary range.

Note: Although you can update the secondary ranges, some changes might adversely affect the income statement and balance sheet.

To update the GL ranges

Select Setup > GL Ranges. The GL Ranges screen opens.

To change the account numbers used for a range, type different major account numbers for the beginning and end of the range in the From and To columns.

To associate a secondary range with a different primary range, do one of the following in the Relate column:

To associate the range with the asset account range, type 1.

To associate the range with the liability account range, type 2.

To associate the range with the equity account range, type 3.

To associate the range with the income account range, type 4.

To associate the range with the expense account range, type 5.

Close the GL Ranges screen.

Disable a GL Range

If you don’t want TireMaster to verify account numbers for a particular account type, you can disable the GL range.

Note: If you disable a GL range that contains secondary ranges, you must disable all secondary ranges

To disable a GL Range

Select Setup > GL Ranges. The GL Ranges screen opens.

Type the number 0 in the From and To fields for the range you want to disable.

If the range’s Relate column contains a value, delete it.

To save the changes, click OK.
