Need New Ideas in Expense GL Account

Hi All,
We recently want to record the different expenses (we have 17 purchasing miscellaneous charge code such as hotel, airfare…), but we still have 34 departments (such as sales, IT…) in company, if I follow the current GL control workflow, I need to create thousands of new GL control types and GL control codes since I want to see only one AL account in GL Analysis in AP Invoice Entry after I run ‘generate ap invoices for expenses’ process. and that required me to create thousands of expense code because it looks like there is a one to one relationship.(one expense code- one GL control code - One GL control Type -one GL account)

Does anyone want to share some ideas how your company record expense based on employee department and expense code?

Thanks.

Does your GL account number scheme include the department?

Assuming it does you should be able to create Dept GL code to drive the
dept segment and the supplier GL code to drive the chart account section.

So then you need to create those but let the system create the combinations.

You do need all of the GL account combinations setup.

Thanks for your reply,
How can I make GL account combined automatically in system? Because now, the gl account will go to the account which I typed in GL Control Maintenance. and that required three section chart account-devision-department.
