Contents of the Reverse Posted Pool and Revenue Journals Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Reverse Posted Pool and Revenue Journals screen.

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options, if there are any, are also included in the saved parameter ID. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Field Description
Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Print Reversals

Click to print the Reverse Pool Journal or Reverse Revenue Journal. When you click this icon, the application copies the reversal data into a temporary table (Z_PJPPREV_POOL or Z_PJPPREV_REV) and prints the appropriate report. If there are errors on the report, you must correct them before you can continue with the reversal. If the report contains warnings, you can still continue.

The application copies the reversal data into a temporary table (Z_PJPPREV_POOL or Z_PJPPREV_REV) and prints the appropriate report. Then the application begins the reversal process. If errors show on the report, the reversal process does not take place. If this happens, you must correct the errors before continuing.

Processing

Field Description
Reverse Posted Pool Journal
  • The Reverse Posted Pool Journal utility checks the GL_POST_SUM table to get the post sequence number selected and joins that sequence number to ALLOC_BASIS_JNL_HS and gets the rows to insert into the ALLOC_BASIS_JNL (Manage Allocation Journals) table. Since only Allocation Group 1 posts to the General Ledger, only Allocation Group 1 can be reversed. 
  • The entry edit status of PAJ must be open for the Fiscal Year/Period/Subperiod to which the reversal is posted.
  • Costpoint performs a validation to ensure that there are no rows in ALLOC_BASIS_JNL (Manage Allocation Journals) for the selected Period to Post fiscal year, period/subperiod, or earlier periods/subperiods. If rows exist, the application generates an error message indicating that those rows must be posted before the utility can continue.
  • Costpoint performs a validation on the accounts/orgs to ensure that they are linked and are within the period of performance of the Period to Post fiscal year/period/subperiod. If the account is project-required, as in the case of a service center, the account/project must be valid. Before rows can be inserted into the ALLOC_BASIS_JNL (Manage Allocation Journals) table, the application generates an error report indicating any account/org/(project) errors. This error report is produced from validations done on Z_PJPPREV_POOL. After you print an error report that returns no errors, is available and the reverse pool journal is inserted into the ALLOC_BASIS_JNL (Manage Allocation Journals) table. To complete the reversal, you must post the pool journal for the reversed pool. 
  • The source for the reverse pool journal is the ALLOC_BASIS_JNL_HS. The POOL_SIE_SUPPORT table is unaffected.
Reverse Revenue Journal
  • The Reverse Revenue Journal utility checks the GL_POST_SUM to get the selected post sequence number and uses the GL_POST_SUM and GL_DETL table to produce the reversal. This reversal is inserted into the JE_HDR and JE_TRN (Enter Journal Entries) tables with a transaction description of REVERSE REVENUE JOURNAL.
  • The entry edit status of AJE must be open for the fiscal year/period/subperiod to which the reversal is posted. You cannot modify a journal entry created by reversing the revenue journal.
  • Costpoint performs a validation on the project/accounts/orgs for the Period to Post fiscal year/period/subperiod. The application generates an error report indicating any account/org/project errors. This error report is produced from validations done on Z_PJPPREV_REV. After you print an error-free report, is available and the reverse revenue journal is inserted into the JE_HDR and JE_TRN (Enter Journal Entries) tables with a transaction description of REVERSE REVENUE JOURNAL. To complete the reversal, you must post the journal entry.
