Monitoring Ledger Preparation and Consolidation Processes

This chapter provides an overview of the monitoring tools you can use to manage consolidation processing in each phase and discusses how to:

Click to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Global Consolidations Monitoring Tools

This section provides an overview of the PeopleSoft Global Consolidations monitoring tools that are used to manage each consolidation phase.

PeopleSoft Global Consolidations provides three monitoring pages that you can use to manage the status of each phase of consolidation. You can also use these pages to initiate processes for each consolidation phase, and to analyze the results.

This table lists the available monitoring tools and describes the how they are used:

Ledger Preparation Manager

Monitor each phase of ledger preparation processing: loading source ledger data, receiving external data sources such as spreadsheet upload, mapping calendars, converting currency, mapping ChartFields (accounts), verification of source data, and creating the consolidation ledger.

See Understanding the Ledger Preparation Manager.

Ledger Enrichment Manager

Monitor each phase of ledger enrichment processing: harmonization entries, translations adjustments, and source flows.

Note. Harmonization entry is a manual process that you can use the ledger enrichment manager to update the status of these processes as well as view the status.

See Managing Ledger Enrichment Processing.

Consolidation Manager

Manage each phase of consolidation processing: eliminations, equitization, non-controlling interest, journal flows, close process, and scenario locking.

See Understanding the Consolidation Manager.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding the Ledger Preparation Manager, Ledger Enrichment Manager, and Consolidation Manager Pages

The Consolidation Manager, Ledger Enrichment Manager, and Ledger Preparation Manager pages provide an overview of the progress of each stage of consolidation processing and provide detailed information about processing during each phase. These pages display information for a particular consolidation model, scenario, fiscal year, and accounting period—the parameters that the consolidation processes uses as input.

These pages are all constructed in a similar way. The tree used during the consolidation phase is displayed on the left side of the page. After you select a tree node, the grid on the right side of the page shows the status of the processes that are run during the phase for that node.

The tree used for ledger preparation and ledger processing is always based on business units. The tree used during consolidation processing can be based on the same business units, different business units, or another dimension, such as department

This example illustrates the common functionality of the Ledger Preparation Manager, Ledger Enrichment Manager, and Consolidation Manager pages:

The status links on these pages enable you to quickly assess the progress of consolidations throughout your organization. The pages are interactive; by clicking the links or status text messages, you can view more detail about that process.

You can configure the information that appears on these pages to suit your particular needs. For example, you can sort columns by text message status or in the case of Ledger Preparation Manager, you can refresh the grid with either Preparation Manager or Ledger Enrichment preparation phases.

Some of the field descriptions are also links. You can click the link to view the definition page for that object. For example, on the Ledger Preparation Manager page, the Source Ledger field descriptions are links. When you click the description, you access the Detail Ledger definition page for that ledger.

You use the Consolidation Processes page to establish which processes are displayed on each manager page, and to add manual process that you have established.

See Configuring the Consolidation Manager, Ledger Enrichment Manager, and Ledger Preparation Manager Pages.

Statuses on the Consolidation Manager, Ledger Preparation Manager, and Ledger Enrichment Manager Pages

The status on the monitoring pages changes when a process has been run for a consolidation tree node, or when new data has been added. These are the statuses that are displayed on the Consolidation Manager, Ledger Preparation Manager, and Ledger Enrichment Manager pages:

00–None

Indicates that no information is available. Appears when processing has notoccurred for that phase.

01–Pending

Indicates that the process has not yet started.

02–Process

Indicates that some units under this node are processing.

03–Rerun

Indicates that you need to reprocess this phase, because one or more processes upon which it depends have been run since this phase was last processed, and could impact this phase.

04-Failed

Indicates that processing failed to complete.

05–Error

Indicates that processing was initiated and completed successfully, but with errors. The system did not create a journal.

06–Review

Indicates that processing completed successfully, but there is data that you should review.

07–Done

Indicates that processing completed successfully, without errors.

08–N/A

Indicates that processing is not applicable.

Click to jump to parent topicConfiguring the Ledger Preparation Manager, Ledger Enrichment Manager, and Consolidation Manager Pages

This section discusses how to configure the Ledger Preparation Manager, Ledger Enrichment Manager, and Consolidation Manager pages.

You establish which processes display on each of the consolidation monitoring pages by using the Consolidation Processes page. The Consolidation Processes page lists all the delivered Global Consolidations application engine process IDs. The page is pre-populated for the SHARE setID. You can modify the consolidation processes on this page to incorporate any manual processes that you create. You can revise the fields in the grid to suit your implementation, or create a new definition for a different setID. PeopleSoft recommends that you limit changes to the Display Title and Display Order fields, unless you have configured the system for your implementation or want to add your own processes.

Note. If you add a consolidation process, the new process does not appear in Consolidation Manager, Ledger Preparation Manager, or Ledger Enrichment Manager until the next time you log on to the system.

On the Ledger Preparation Manager page, you can review which stages of ledger preparation are complete for the selected consolidation tree node.

See Statuses on the Consolidation Manager, Ledger Preparation Manager, and Ledger Enrichment Manager Pages.

The status of each phase of ledger preparation processing appears for each ledger business unit and source ledger within the selected tree node. You can sort the results by clicking on a column heading. You can click on a status to access the Status Details page.

The phases are:

Data Received

Indicates the status of the source ledger loading process. Click on a status to display the Status Details - Data Received page.

Source Verification

Indicates the status of the source ledger verification process. Click on a status to display the Status Details - Source Verification.

The status for the ledger verification and the subsequent ledger preparation processes is updated based on the error handling choice you make on the Ledger Preparation Run Group page.

For example, if you select Prevent all BU(s) to continue and errors occur during the ledger verification phase for some of the business units, the ledger verification process continues to update the valid business units with the status text message 06-Review. For the subsequent ledger preparation processes, the ledger preparation process checks if the business units were previously run. If so, the status text messages is set to 03-Rerun, otherwise, the status is set to 00-None. Similarly, the ledger preparation process updates the consolidated business unit status for the subsequent consolidation processes.

If you select Allow valid BU(s) to continue and errors occur during the ledger verification phase for some of the business units, the ledger verification process updates the status for the subsequent ledger preparation processes to 00-None, or 03-Rerun for the problem business units. The ledger preparation process continues to prepare the valid business units and set the status per the results from each preparation step.

See Establishing Ledger Preparation Groups.

Calendar Mapping

Indicates the status of the calendar mapping rules process. Click on a status to display the Status Details - Calendar Mapping page. When the no preparation option is used for a business unit, the status will be None because this process is not run.

Account Mapping

Indicates the status of the Data Mapper rules process. Click on a status to display the Status Details - Account Mapping page. When the no preparation option is used for a business unit, the status will be None because this process is not run.

Currency Translation

Indicates the status of the currency mapping rules process. Click on a status to display the Status Details - Currency Translation page. When the no preparation option is used for a business unit, the status will be None because this process is not run.
