Interfacing liabilities to third party finance systems

You can interface absence plan balances to third party finance systems with the Update Finance action. Third party finance posting must be enabled, and general ledger rules must be defined and assigned to a plan. Then you interface the transactions in your third party finance system.

Third party finance posting must be enabled in BOD Configuration through Administrator > Utilities > Interfaces > Business Object Documents > Setup > BODs. The user then activates the 'AbsenceFinanceUpdate_ProcessSourceSystemJournalEntry' BOD.

The generated BOD is configured to contain 1,000 transactions by default. This can be configured in Configuration Parameter through the HCM_SourceSystemJournalEntry_NumberLineRecord variable. This can be set to any number that correlates to the number of transactions per BOD. Another Configuration Parameter that can be used is the HCM_SourceSystemJournalEntry_GenericDelimiter, which sets the delimiter in the BOD from the default "@@" value to any value.

Before you can update plan balances to a third party finance system, you must also verify these tasks have been completed:

To interface absence hours with the general ledger, you must enable that option. Sign in as Administrator and select Utilities > Set Up. Select or create a new organization. On the File Select tab, select Absence > Interface Absence Hours with General Ledger. For more information, see the Infor HR Talent Setup and Administration Guide.
