Global Ledger

This section contains enhancements in Infor Financials and Supply Management.

Front-End Split Feature (Phase 2) for Global Ledger (manual journals and interfaced journals)

This feature was developed after the need was expressed for the splitting of General Ledger transactions based on the project number on a transaction line without a funding source. This functionality splits that transaction to reflect all the funding sources (internal and external) funding a project and the fund associated with each funding source. This feature is available for both manual journals and journals created by the Global Ledger transaction interface.

Program/Business class/Process affected:

Manual journal creation and Global Ledger transaction interface are impacted. The following business classes have been modified:

  1. GLTransactionInterface.busclass
  2. GLTransactionDetail.busclass
  3. GeneralLedgerJournalControl.busclass
  4. GeneralLedgerTransaction.busclass
  5. FrontEndSplitDistributions.busclass
  6. FrontEndSplitDistributions.keyfield
  7. UI: GeneralLedgerTransaction.busclass

Use these steps to test the enhancement:

  1. Create a manual journal with transactions. Transaction must contain a project which has been set up for FES. Transaction must not contain FinanceDimension2.
  2. Perform the journal control action: Front end split transactions.
  3. Verify that the original transaction has been replaced with the split transaction.
  4. Create a new journal as in step 1. Release the journal and verify that the original transactions have been replaced with the split transactions.
  5. Create a journal through Interface Transactions and ensure that the transactions are split when the journal is created.

What are the dependencies?

Proper setup should be done in Projects and Global Ledger.

Dimension Analysis Enhancement

There are two new menus for analyzing by multiple dimensions. Each menu includes three new lists:
  • current, previous period, and previous period compared
  • period over period
  • variance analysis

Each list will allow users to drill down in accounts based on a dimension tree, where the total amounts will display as hyperlinks. Users can change periods and period views.

Program/Business class/Process affected:

  1. GeneralLedgerTotal
  2. AccountingUnitAnalysisMenu - NEW
  3. DimensionOneAnalysisMenu - NEW
  4. GeneralLedgerInquiries

Use these steps to test the enhancement:

  1. Verify that there are new menus for Finance Dimension 1 and Accounting Unit.
  2. Verify that the menus have three lists: Compare Analysis, Period Over Period Analysis, and Variance Analysis.
  3. Verify that within these lists users can switch between different pivot views, change different period, and select different period views.

Should display the report ADB amounts using the number of decimals defined in the currency code setup.

Program/Business class/Process affected:

  • AverageDailyBalanceTransaction

  • AverageDailyBalanceAggregate

Use these steps to test the enhancement:

  1. Enable calculate ADB for all currency amounts in FEG options panel.
  2. Use different report currencies and alternate currencies.
