Global Ledger

This section contains enhancements in Financials and Supply Management.

Add a form to display all allocation lines

When searching for a particular allocation line, you first have to look for and open an allocation. This enhancement allows you to view the list of available allocation lines without first searching and opening an allocation.

A new Allocation Line list is now available from the Allocation Control main form to show all allocation lines in an Allocation Control.

  1. Open Allocation Control record.
  2. Select the new Allocation Line pane.
  3. Verify that all Allocation Lines in the selected Allocation Control are displayed.

Set the initial and/or default values for Step, Post Options during creation of allocation lines

Previously, there was no indicator that the Step, From Post Option and To Post Option fields are required. Users were not aware that these must be populated and are only prompted when the line is saved with blank Step or Post Options fields. This enhancement adds a red asterisk beside the Step and Post Options field labels, and adds commonly used values as initial and/or default values instead of only showing error messages. This will allow for easier and quicker set up of allocation lines.

These enhancements were added to the required fields in the allocation line form:

Allocation line Step field:

  • A red asterisk was added on the right side of the field label.
  • The value of allocation Default Step field was set as the initial and default value of the allocation line Step field. If the allocation Default Step is blank, then the initial and default value of Allocation Line Step is set to 1.

From Post Option field:

  • A red asterisk was added on the right side of the field label.
  • Consolidate is set as initial value.

To Post Option field:

  • A red asterisk was added on the right side of the field label.
  • Retain is set as an initial value.

Use this information to test the enhancement:

  1. Create an Allocation with blank Default Step.
  2. Create an Allocation Line.
  3. Verify that "1" is the initial value of the allocation line Step field.
  4. Verify that "Consolidate" is the initial value of allocation line From Post Option field.
  5. Verify that "Retain" is the initial value of allocation line To Post Option field.
  6. Save the allocation line.
