Journalizing indirect burden transactions

The finance dimension 2 from the originating GLTransactionDetail is used when this action is run. Errors are skipped when GL Transaction Detail records are created.

  • These errors include invalid pairs, invalid dates, and missing values.
  • The Indirect Burden transaction remains in a Created status.
  • The amount is not included in the offset entry and an error message is displayed on the burden transaction record.
  • Processing is completed on transactions with no errors.
  • The error records must be resolved and journalized again.

After journalizing indirect burden transactions, the journal must be posted. The indirect burden transactions are not displayed on the unbilled transaction list until they have been posted. The Journalize Indirect Burdens action creates burden journals using these rules for the From and To Accounting Entity:

  • Burden entry accounting entity default values:
    • From Accounting Entity = To Accounting Entity from the originating expense GLTransactionDetail.
    • To Accounting Entity = To Accounting Entity from the originating expense GLTransactionDetail, unless overridden by Post To Accounting Entity from the indirect burden code setup.
  • Offset entry accounting entity default values:
    • From Accounting Entity = To Accounting Entity from the originating expense GLTransactionDetail.
    • To Accounting Entity = To Accounting Entity defined as the offset account finance structure from the indirect burden code set.
