Configuring 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.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Consolidation Processes page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

The fields are categorized by function within the Name, Display Controls, and Parameters tabs. Either select each tab to view the related fields, or click the Show All Columns button to view all fields on one page. Insert rows as needed and complete these fields:

Display Order

Enter the display order, which controls the order in which the field appears. Fields appear in ascending order, based on the value that you enter in this field, with the lowest displaying first. (This field is updatable on each of the Consolidation Processes pages.)

Process ID

Enter the ID of the process to monitor. (This field is updatable on each of the Consolidation Processes pages.)

Description

Enter a description of the process.

Function

Select a function, describing what the process does. Options are: Account Mapping, Calendar Mapping, Close Process, Consolidation Approval, Consolidation Ledger Created, Consolidation Locked, Currency Translation, Elimination, Equitization, Journal Flows, Journal Entries, Manual, Non-Controlling Interest, Source Flows, Source Ledger Load, Source Ledger Verification, and Translation Adjustment.

Consolidation Phase

Select the phase of consolidation processing in which this process occurs. Options are: Consolidation, Consolidation/Last Period, Ledger Enrichment, or Ledger Preparation.

Display On

Displays the page on which the process status appears: the Consolidation Manager page, the Ledger Enrichment Manager page, or the Ledger Preparation Manager page.

Changing Display Titles

Select the Display Controls tab.

Note that only the Ledger Preparation Manager and the Consolidation Manager are listed on this page. The Ledger Enrichment Manager is considered part of the Ledger Preparation Manager page.

Display Title

Enter the title to use for this process on the Consolidation Manager, Ledger Enrichment Manager, or Ledger Preparation Manager pages.

Controlling Processes and Process Order

Select the Parameters tab.

Status Update Method

Select the update status method. Options are: Application Engine Batch, Locking Processing, Manual Processing, or None. Your selection controls the prompt list for the process name, and also the information that appears on the Status Details page for that process. For example, for application engine batch processes, the Status Detail page includes links to the Process Monitor.

Process Order

Enter a value indicating the sequential order in which each process must be run, the lowest number occurring first. Use the process order to indicate processing dependencies. For example, calendar mapping must occur prior to loading the consolidation ledger. The system determines which processes should be rerun based on these dependencies.

Process Name

Enter a process name, which is the page or PeopleSoft Application Engine program used for this process. This field is inactive when the value in the Status Update Method field is None or Manual Processing. The system uses this information to determine which process status ID it should update.

Reconciliation Job ID

Enter the job ID for reconciliation rules that you have established for this process. When you assign a reconciliation job ID, the Review Reconciliation Totals link becomes active on the status details page.
