When you come to run the various inflation adjustment programs, the system uses the settings in the inflation method assigned to your company code to determine:
· Which is the general inflation index

· Whether you want the adjustments to be split
· Which ledger the adjustments are to be posted to
· Which document type, posting keys, and tax codes to use when creating inflation adjustment documents
