Registering entities

  1. Select Administration > Entity Registration.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Specify this information:
    Name
    Specify the name of the entity to be registered. The maximum length is 15 characters.
    Entity
    For entity registration with an accounting entity code, select the entity to be registered. The list displays the logical ID and accounting entity code specified in the AccountingEntity business document received in IGFC. For IGFC CE, the list displays the tenant, logical ID and accounting entity code specified in the AccountingEntity business document. Alternatively, select Specify Other if the Accounting Entity business document is not published.
    Receiving Method
    Select the method by which GFC publishes output documents to the receiving application. You can choose from these valid values:
    • ION IMS
    • Web Service

    For on-premise deployment, you can also select ION IOBOX as the receiving method.

    Tenant
    This field is available only for IGFC CE. By default, this is populated with the tenant of the IGFC application. If the entity is associated to a different tenant, you must specify the value in this field.
    Logical ID
    For entity registration with an accounting entity code, specify the logical ID of the application and the accounting entity code in the field provided.

    For entity registration without an accounting entity code, specify the logical ID of the application and leave the accounting entity field blank.

    Valid characters for the logical ID value are a–z, A–Z, 0–9, and special characters underscore(_) or dash(-). The ID must also contain two periods following the sample pattern of infor.erp.erp.

    Other Entity
    This field is available only when Specify Other is selected in the Entity field. Specify the entity code of the entity to be registered.
    Signed Amounts
    Optionally, for accounting framework integration, select this check box to indicate that the entity’s SourceSystemJournalEntry business documents recognize credit amounts with the negative sign. For flexible output integration, clear this check box.
  4. Click Save.
