Project Transactions: Generated Transactions

The release of project transactions can generate the corresponding general ledger transactions; the release of general ledger transactions can also generate the corresponding project transactions. The generated general ledger transactions and project transactions are described in the following sections.

General Ledger Transactions Generated on Project Transaction Release

When a project transaction with the Debit Account and Credit Account specified on the Project Transactions (PM304000) form is released, if the Amount of the transaction is positive, the system generates a batch of the general ledger transactions shown in the following table.

Account Source of Account Debit Credit
Debit account The project transaction Amount 0.00
Credit account The project transaction 0.00 Amount

If the Amount of the project transaction is negative on the Project Transactions form, on the release of this transaction, the system generates a batch of the general ledger transactions shown in the following table.

Account Source of Account Debit Credit
Credit account The project transaction Amount 0.00
Debit account The project transaction 0.00 Amount

You can view the details of the batch associated with the release of a project transaction by clicking the link in the GL Batch Nbr. column on the Project Transactions form. The system displays the batch on the Journal Transactions (GL301000) form.

Project Transactions Generated on Release of the General Ledger Batch

When a batch of general ledger transactions is released, the system generates the project transactions shown in the following table. The sign of the amount of the created project transaction depends on whether the account of the general ledger transaction is debited or credited.

You can review the created transactions on the Project Transaction Details (PM401000) form. In the Selection area of this form, you select the project in the Project box. In the table, you can find the project transactions created on the release of the batch of GL transactions by the reference number of the batch in the GL Batch Nbr. column.
