Summary Area

This area contains general information about the cash transaction. The following table summarizes the elements in this area.

Element Description
Tran. Type The type of cash transaction. You can create transactions of the Cash Entry type.
Reference Nbr. The unique identifier assigned to the cash transaction in accordance with the numbering sequence.
Status

The status of the transaction, which is automatically assigned by the system.

The status can be one of the following:

  • On Hold: The transaction is on hold and can be edited. Click the Remove Hold button on the form toolbar (or the equivalent command) when you finish editing the transaction, and the transaction status changes to Balanced or Pending Approval, depending on whether approval has been configured for cash transactions. When a new document is created on the current form, it is assigned the On Hold status if the Hold Transactions on Entry check box is selected on the Cash Management Preferences (CA101000) form or if approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the document type on the Approvals tab of this form; if the Hold Documents on Entry check box is cleared, the new document is assigned the Balanced or Pending Approval status.
  • Rejected: An approver has rejected the cash transaction by using the Reject command or button. You can edit the transaction and resubmit it for approval (if needed) if you click Hold, make your edits, and click Remove Hold; the status changes to Pending Approval.

    This status is available only if the Approval Workflow feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, and approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the document type on the Approvals tab of the Cash Management Preferences (CA101000) form.

  • Pending Approval: The transaction needs to be approved before further processing can occur by responsible approvers, which are assigned according to the approval map specified on the Approvals tab of the Cash Management Preferences (CA101000) form for the document type. The transaction can be either approved (which causes its status to change to Balanced) or rejected (which causes its status to change to Rejected).

  • Balanced: The transaction is balanced and ready to be released. If approval has not been configured for cash transactions, this status is assigned to a transaction if you click Remove Hold on the form toolbar when you finish editing it. Alternatively, if approval has been configured for cash transactions, this status is assigned to a transaction when it is approved. A new transaction is assigned this status by default if the Hold Transactions on Entry check box is cleared on the Cash Management Preferences (CA101000) form.
