In the setup a list of codes for nominal remapping can be setup.   This consists of an "Old" and "New" code.

When a nominal entry is generated in Navigator it is processed through the nominal mapping.  The "Old" code is the mask that selects whether a nominal entry matches for mapping.   It consists of a row of "*"'s in each of the elements of the nominal code, but various elements can be filled in to match the code to map to.

Then the "New" code is entered.  For each of the 10 elements, the old code is updated either with the data entered into this table or with the detail from the original code if a star is entered.

Nominal mapping is cumulative, in that each line is processed in turn and the result from the line is then processed in subsequent lines (it doesn't restart from the top).

There are many uses for this, ranging from recoding of nominal codes to reducing the analysis on certain codes.

For example, if it was desired to remove the make/model analysis on nominal entries for the sale/discount/cost of sale of dealer options, then the following remap would be used :-

Old Code : *.*.*.*.32.*.*.*.*.*

New Code:*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.0.0

Similarly, to recode a bonus from a reduction in cost to a sale and remove the model analysis, the following could be used :-

Old Code : *.*.*.30.450.*.*.*.*.*

New Code: *.*.*.10.450.0.0.0.0.0

Adding a Nominal Category to a Sales or Purchase Ledger account will analyse this account on new control codes on the trial balance relating to that category.  The new code is the same as the existing code, with the addition of a category in the extended part of the nominal code.

For example, whilst the normal Sales Ledger Control account in the nominal ledger is 0.0.60.1, for the first Nominal Category the code 0.0.60.1.1.0.0.0.0 is created.

This applies to the Sales Ledger Control account (0.0.60.1), Purchase Ledger Control Account (0.0.70.2) and Gani Suspense Account (0.0.70.8).

When the nominal category on an account is updated, a journal is processed to move the balances on the account to the categorised nominal acccount.

The category is shown on the Debtors, Creditors and GANI lists (summarised only).

At present, the nominal reconciliation doesn't analyse the accounts seperately.
