Monitoring Intercompany Transactions

You can use the Monitor Intercompany Transactions feature to monitor the intercompany transaction matching process. When a large number of intercompany transactions are entered to the system in a period, the matching process can be time-consuming to ensure that all transactions are entered and matched successfully. Since not all transactions are entered at the same time, administrators need to monitor the matching process. The Monitor Intercompany Transactions feature enables you to easily find out which intercompany partners have started their intercompany transactions process.

The Intercompany Transactions Monitor window displays a list of intercompany entities with their Process status and Lock status. The entities are links to Intercompany Transactions Monitor Detail information. When you click an entity, the system opens a pop-up window that displays the number of posted and unposted transactions by status, such as Matched, Mismatched, or Unmatched. See Viewing the Intercompany Transactions Summary.

The values in the Intercompany Transactions Monitor Detail window link to the Process IC Transactions window with the filtering to display the detail transactions from the values.

For example, if you click Entity A from the list of entities, the Intercompany Transactions Monitor Detail pop-up window displays the number of posted and unposted transactions by status for Entity A. If you click the value for unposted transactions in the Unmatched column, the system links to the Process IC Transactions window, with the filtering selected to display the unposted transactions with an Unmatched status for Entity A.

You can send email alerts for any of the entities in the Intercompany Transactions Monitor window. See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management User’s Guide.

Note:

To monitor intercompany transactions, you must be assigned the Intercompany Transaction Administrator security role.

You can monitor the status of intercompany transactions between entities and intercompany partners. The system displays the process status and lock status of the intercompany transactions for the selected entities, and you can filter and sort the list by status.
