13 Setting Up and Generating AP and AR Information for CNAO Audit Files

This chapter contains the following topics:

13.1 Understanding the AP and AR Information Required for CNAO Audit Files

You must report the details of your accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR) information according to the requirements for CNAO version 2. According to the CNAO standard, you need to export all related financial information such as fiscal period end, year-end reports, journals and details of fixed assets, and payroll transactions into XML files for sending to CNAO for audit review. To address the new requirement, you need to generate the Generate AP & AR XML - China - 75C report (R75C010).

The Generate AP & AR XML - China - 75C report generates the XML output for the required AP & AR data elements in the format required by the Chinese government.

The mandatory reporting requirements for AR and AP module include these areas:

  • Document type.

    You report the document type once.

  • Transaction type.

    You report the transaction type once.

  • Receivable Balance Details in the Current Period.

    You report the receivable balance details in the current period on a monthly basis.

  • Payable Balance Details in the Current Period.

    You report the payable balance details in the current period on a monthly basis.

13.1.2 Checklist for Setting Up and Generating the CNAO Audit File for AP and AR Information

Use this table to assure that you complete all necessary steps to successfully generate the CNAO audit file for AP/AR information:

Complete Action Comments
  Verify that alternate descriptions of currency code translations are set up. You set up the alternate descriptions in the Translation (75C/TR) UDC table.
  Verify that the CNAO document numbers have been generated. You use the Generate CNAO Document Numbers program (R75C911) to generate CNAO document numbers for all JD Edwards EnterpriseOne document numbers.

See Generating CNAO Document Numbers

  Verify that the XML element names are set up for the AP/AR file. You use the Dynamic XML Element Names program (P75C013) to set up names for the sections headings and the section fields of the AP/AR XML file.

For example, instead of having the system print the term Document Type for the heading of that section, you can enter a different string, including Chinese characters, that the system will print in the XML output file.

See Setting Up Dynamic File Names

  Generate balances for a customer or supplier and natural account number. You run the Generate Balances for AP/AR - China report (R75C014).

See Generating Balances for AP and AR Transactions

  Generate the AP & AR CNAO XML file. You run the AP & AR XML - China - 75C program to generate the XML file.

See Generating the CNAO Audit Files for AP and AR


13.2 Generating Balances for AP and AR Transactions

This section provides an overview of the balance update for AP and AR and discusses how to:

  • Run the Generate Balances for AP/AR - China program.

  • Set processing options for the Generate Balances for AP/AR - China program (R75C014).

13.2.1 Understanding the Balance Update for AP and AR

Run the Generate Balances for AP/AR - China program (R75C014) to generate balances for each unique combination of a customer or supplier and a natural account number. The system calculates balances for the fiscal year that you specify in the processing options. The system stores the balances for the specified fiscal year based on natural account number and customer or supplier in the AP/AR Balances - China table (F75C014).

If you run the report for the same processing option more than once, the system deletes the previous records from the F75C014 table. It then recalculates balances and inserts those in the F75C014 table.

You can run this report in proof or final mode. The system updates the F75C014 table only when you run the report in the final mode.

13.2.2 Running the Generate Balances for AP/AR - China Program

Select AP & AR Information (G75C055), Generate Balances for AP/AR - China.

13.2.3 Setting Processing Options for Generate Balances for AP/AR - China (R75C014)

Processing options enable you to specify default values for programs and reports.

13.2.3.1 Process

Mode

Specify the mode in which you want to run the report. Values are:

Blank: Proof mode

1: Final mode

13.2.3.2 Select

Company

Specify the company for which you generate the report.

Fiscal Year

Specify the fiscal year for which you want to generate balances.

13.3 Generating the CNAO Audit Files for AP and AR

This section provides an overview of the CNAO audit file for AP and AR and discusses how to:

  • Run the Generate AP & AR XML - China - 75C program.

  • Set processing options for AP & AR XML - China - 75C (R75C010).

  • Run the Generate Multiple Period AP & AR XML - China program.

  • Set processing options for Generate Multiple Period AP & AR XML - China (R75C011).

13.3.1 Understanding the CNAO Audit File for AP and AR

You run the Generate AP & AR XML - China - 75C program to generate the XML file to report AP and AR information. You set processing options to specify data selection, such as the accounting period and company. You also use the processing options to specify the location to which the program writes the XML output and the Chinese characters that the system prints in the title of the report.

The Generate AP & AR XML - China - 75C report generates the XML output for the required AP and AR data elements in the format required by the Chinese government. This report generates output for a specified accounting period.

You need to run the Generate Multiple Period AP & AR XML - China report to generate XML output for multiple periods or between a range of periods. However, you must have run the Generate AP & AR XML - China - 75C report for the period for which you are running the Generate Multiple Period AP & AR XML - China report.

You can also use the Generate Multiple Period AP & AR XML - China report to run the XML for a given period more than one time.

The system reads these tables to obtain the data for the XML file:

  • User Defined Code Types (F0004)

  • User Defined Code Values (F0005)

  • Accounts Payable Ledger (F0411)

  • Accounts Payable Matching Document Type (F0414)

  • Customer Ledger (F03B11)

  • Receipts Detail (F03B14)


Note:

When you run the Generate AP & AR XML - China - 75C report, the system saves data to the AP & AR Multiple Period XML Workfile table (F75CUI05) and retrieves it from this table when you run the Generate Multiple Period AP & AR XML - China report.

13.3.2 Running the Generate AP & AR XML - China - 75C Program

Select AP & AR Information (G75C055), Generate AP & AR XML - China - 75C.
