Transaction Reclassification: Implementation Checklist
Before users begin reclassifying GL batches related to projects, you must make sure that the system has been configured properly, as described in the following table.
| Form | Criteria to Check |
|---|---|
| Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form | Make sure the Standard Financials and Project Accounting features have been enabled. |
| Projects Preferences (PM101000) form | Make sure that all necessary settings related to project accounting have been specified. For more information about the configuration steps that you have to perform before you can start accounting for projects, see Basic Project Configuration: General Information. |
| User Roles (SM201005) | Make sure that each user that will perform reclassification of general ledger transactions related to projects is assigned the Project Accountant role. |
Settings That Can Affect the Processing Workflow
The settings on the General Ledger Preferences (GL102000) form can affect the processing workflow as follows:
- If the Hold Batches on Entry check box is selected, a batch is saved with the On Hold status by default. If the batch is on hold, you should click Remove Hold on the toolbar of the Journal Transactions (GL301000) form for the batch so that you can process it further. If the check box is cleared, the batch is saved with the Balanced status.
- If the Validate Batch Control Totals on Entry check box is selected, you have to enter the batch control total before you save the batch on the Journal Transactions form. If this check box is cleared and the status of the batch is Balanced, the system automatically validates the batch.
- If the Automatically Post on Release check box is selected, the system posts batches on release. If this check box is cleared, you have to post the batches after release.
