Commitments

Receivables uses the following tables to store your commitment information:

Consider a sample guarantee:

Guarantee Number: G-101

Bill-To: ABC Inc

Guarantee Date: 20-May-94

Amount: $500

Guarantee number G-101 would be represented in Receivables tables as follows:

RA_CUSTOMER_TRX
       
customer_trx_id trx_number bill_to_customer_id trx_date
122341 G-101 ABC Inc 20-May-94

RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_LINES
         
customer_
trx_line_id
customer_trx_id link_to_cust_
trx_line_id
line_type extended_
amount
108 122341   LINE 500

One record is inserted into the RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_LINES table with a line_type of 'LINE'. The extended_amount column will store the amount of the commitment. If there had been a sales credit for this commitment, records relating to the sales credit would be inserted in RA_CUST_TRX_LINE_SALESREPS, linked via the column customer_trx_line_id.

RA_CUST_TRX_LINE_GL_DIST
         
cust_trx_line
gl_dist_id
code_combination_id customer_
trx_line_id

12345 01-1100-1000-3000   REC 500
12346 01-6200-1000-3000 108 REV 500

Two records are inserted into the RA_CUST_TRX_LINE_GL_DIST table. One contains the (unbilled) receivable account, which is linked to the record created in ra_customer_trx via the customer_trx_id. The second contains the (unearned) revenue account, which is linked to the record created in ra_customer_trx_lines via the customer_trx_line_id.
