Make the Transaction in the General Ledger to Report the Details

To automatically allocate sales recorded in a generic account (GL 4100 – Sales) to three separate revenue accounts, simply post a reclassification journal entry in the general ledger.

Ledger Entry

GL Account	Description	Debit	Credit
4100	Generic Sales	100 %
4110	Sales – Mechanical		70 %
4120	Sales – Parts		20 %
4130	Sales – Warranty		10 %

Example: If account 4100 contains $100,000

GL Account	Description	Debit	Credit
4100	Generic Sales	$100,000
4110	Sales – Mechanical		$70,000
4120	Sales – Parts		$20,000
4130	Sales – Warranty		$10,000

Result:

Account 4100 is brought back to $0.
Revenues are allocated as follows:
- 4110 – Mechanical: 70 %
- 4120 – Parts: 20 %
- 4130 – Warranty: 10 %

This journal entry can be automated at the end of each period (day, week, or month) so that any sales recorded in GL 4100 are redistributed according to these percentages.
