Publishing Accounting Line Information Manually

This section discusses how to process accounting lines manually. You can run the publishing processes individually if you want to review the accounting lines before they are sent to Financials.

To process accounting lines manually:

  1. Set up batch publish rules (required for both automatic and manual processing).

  2. Access the GL Interface page.

  3. Run the CR/GL Post process (AVPACCTL) only.

    Note: Do not run the AVPOST2 job.

  4. Access the Batch Publish page.

  5. Run the EOP_PUBLISHM process.

    Note: You can set the EOP_PUBLISHM process to run at user-defined intervals.

Usage

GL Interface (general ledger interface)

AV_RUN_CNTL_GL

select Contributor Relations, then select Session Management, then select Process Sessions, then select G/L Interface

Enter process parameters and run the AVPACCTL process, which creates accounting lines ready for publishing into your institution's Financials system but does not activate the message that the lines are ready for Financials 8.4 or 8.8.

Batch Publish

EO_BATCHPUB

select Enterprise Components, then select Integration Definitions, then select Initiate Processes, then select Batch Publish

Run the EOP_PUBLISHM process, which publishes batches of accounting lines into your institution's Financials system.

Access the GL Interface page. This page displays the Financials Release that you selected on the CR Installation page.

After you enter the appropriate information on the run control page and click the Run button, the Process Scheduler Request page appears.

From that page, run the AVPACCTL process, which creates accounting lines and puts the process instance entries into the PS_EO_MSGBATPRM table.

After you have manually generated accounting lines, access the Batch Publish page select (Enterprise Components, then select Integration Definitions, then select Initiate Processes, then select Batch Publish) to publish them to the Financials database.

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

Batch Publish page

Field or Control

Definition
Request ID and Description

Enter an ID and describe the process.
Process Frequency

Select Once.

Process Name

Enter AVPACCTL.

After you enter the appropriate information on the Batch Publish page and click the Run button, the Process Scheduler Request page appears.

From that page, run the EOP_PUBLISHM process, which does the following:

  1. Selects accounting lines based on three criteria: process or job instance, process name, and process status.

  2. Collects accounting line entries generated by the GL Interface AVPACCTL COBOL process and publishes them to the Financials database.

Financials treats the published messages the same way, regardless of whether you generate the accounting lines automatically or manually.
