Run Create Cash Offsets

This field is available if fund accounting is enabled. Select the check box to create cash entries for the funding source distributions. This is typically selected if the revenue finance structure on the funding sources contains different accounting units or other dimensions.

Cash Offset Account

This field is available if fund accounting is enabled. If the Run Create Cash Offsets check box is selected, then a cash account must be specified for the cash entries.

These actions occur as a result of front end split distributions that are generated by contract group:

• If no errors occur, then the records are set to released. The budget group total amount is updated. Use quick post or the GL post action to post.
• Records with errors remain in the GL Transaction Interface file. After the errors are corrected, run the Interface Transaction action. A red alert is displayed on the journalize group on the Front End Splits Results tab.
• After distributions are generated, the Journalize Group field is included in the Front End Splits Results list. Use the journalize group to access the transactions in Global Ledger. The front end results records are not deleted. Use the delete action to delete the results records.
