What Component Mapping Does

Component Mapping connects:

• Component items

• Accounting accounts used to record their costs

When components are used in transactions, SmartBooks applies this mapping to record values in the correct accounts.

Configuring Component Mapping

To configure or update component mapping:

1. Open Component Mapping

2. Select the Component

3. Select the Account to record the component cost

4. Save the mapping

The mapping is applied automatically to future component-related transactions.

Updating Component Mapping

Update this mapping when:

• New components are added

• Component cost accounts change

• Accounting structure is updated

Changes affect future records only.

Important Notes

• Component mapping applies across SmartBooks

• Incorrect mapping can affect inventory and cost reports

• Existing component records are not recalculated automatically

When to Configure This

• During initial SmartBooks setup

• Before using components in transactions

• When component-related reports show incorrect values
