Notes

Default Division. When divisions are enabled, each company in Control has a default division. The credit for a given client is always retained in the company's default division. This means that Control must transfer the credit to the default division if it comes in to or out of from another division. To accomplish the transfer, Control uses the InterDivision Customer Credit liability account.
Deleting or Moving Companies. When you change a company's division or reassign a customer's records to a new company in a different division, Control will reassign any outstanding customer credit from the old company to the new company.
