Line item coding means giving every line on a supplier bill its own account, tax category and tracking, not one code for the whole bill.
What MYOB Acumatica does on its own
Each line has item, account, subaccount, branch and project fields.

Common questions
How do I fix the account on a posted MYOB Acumatica bill?
Open Reclassify Transactions (GL506000), load the batches and set To Account, To Subaccount or To Branch. Click Replace to change many rows at once, then Process.
Can I code to a job and cost code?
Yes, once Projects is enabled and linked to accounts payable. Pick the Project, Project Task and Cost Code on each line, then run project reports for cost against budget.
Do I need to set up coding rules?
No. Pulsify learns from how your team coded past invoices for each supplier. A coding note in the forwarding email is followed first.
