For Example I have 6 segment GL KFF and I have one GL account Combination "001-445-5555-677776-554-666" that I uses in the Invoice distribution for some specific supplier. Now I need to remember this GL account Combination every time to enter this in the Invoice Distribution or I can use the Account Alias feature to create the Account Alias with Name "ABC SUPPLIER ACCOUNT" for this GL Account combination "001-445-5555-677776-554-666" and when ever I need to enter this Account Combination I can use only this Alias "ABC SUPPLIER ACCOUNT".
