Provide the ability to generate an actual journal that shows the rolling of retained earnings

Program/Business class/Process affected:

  • AccountingEntityHierarchy
  • FinanceEnterpriseGroup
  • GeneralLedgerJournalControl
  • GeneralLedgerTotal
  • Ledger
  • ReportingBasis
  • ReportingBasisYear
  • SystemAccount.field
  • 11.0_post_CU80.faf

How it works:

A new action is created to process the retained earnings via a journal entry, as some countries require an automated entry to updated retained earnings. The Retained Earnings entry will sum all the expense account type totals from the Income Statement and this total will be booked into a newly created Expense Summary system account, and the offset will hit retained earnings. Then it will sum all the revenue account type totals from the Income Statement and this total will be booked into the newly create Revenue Summary system account, and the offset will hit retained earnings. Each entry should be 4 lines per ledger processed. This will need to be done prior to year end close, and run similar to the year end close process.

For Setup:

Sign in as Controller and select Setup > Finance Enterprise Group > Maintenance. Select a Finance Enterprise Group. Go into Reporting Basis. Select Reporting Basis on which you want to process the retained earnings entry. Click on the “Process Retained Earnings” check box. Click Save.

This will create two new System Accounts (Revenue Summary and Expense Summary). Go into the System Account and create the account number for each. Also, a new Retained Earnings ledger will be automatically created. This ledger is where the Retained Earnings entry will be placed.

To Run Retained Earnings:

Sign in as Controller and select Processing > Reporting Basis > Reporting Basis. Select “Reporting Basis” from above. Below, right-click on the Basis Year and select “Process Retained Earnings”. You can run this by a single entity or entity group. If it’s the first time running the Process Retained Earnings for the year selected, so do not select the Changed Totals Only button. This button is for any subsequent runs after the initial entry. Note: We are working to disregard the changed totals only based on enhancement requests that are in process.

Things to test or expectations:

Verify that the entry totals are what is expected. If multiple ledgers, it should create separate entry for each ledger. The entry should go straight to a Posted status. The entry should include a Revenue Summary amount, a Retained Earnings amount (that offsets the Revenue Summary, an Expense Summary amount, and another Retained Earnings amount (that offsets the Expense Summary amount). Four lines should be standard per ledger.
