Calendar and Aging Options

Field or Control

Description

Aging ID

Select an aging ID that you set up on the Aging page. The Aging Application Engine process (AR_AGING) uses this identifier for the aging rules for all business units associated with the TableSet.

Calendar ID

Select the calendar ID used to perform history calculations. You define the calendars on the Calendar Periods page.

General Options

Field or Control

Description

AR Specialist (accounts receivable specialist)

Select the AR specialist who you want to be the initial owner for deduction and disputed items. The system assigns the specialist when you create a deduction on the payment worksheet and when you mark an item as disputed or as a deduction on the View/Update Item Details - Detail 1 page. You can override the default specialist for individual customers on the Bill To Options page and for the deduction or dispute reasons on the Deduction Reason page and the Dispute Reason page.

Note: You must assign an AR specialist to each business unit. To assign all deductions or disputed items initially to a specific AR specialist, such as a manager, use the same specialist for each business unit and do not override the specialist for individual customers or reasons. Managers can use the Item List page to search for items assigned to them and drill down to the items to assign them to someone else. Alternatively, you can set up an assessment rule to create an action for the AR specialist when you run the Condition Monitor Application Engine process (AR_CNDMON). The manager can then assign each deduction or disputed item to individual AR specialists on the Reassign Action page.

DSO Calculations

Field or Control

Description

Year and Period

Enter dates that the Receivables Update Application Engine process (ARUPDATE) uses to determine which period to update for days sales outstanding history. These dates appear on the Receivables Update - Request page. The system calculates, summarizes, and stores all monetary transactions that fall in the date range for the defined periods.

Correspondence

Field or Control

Description

Statement ID and Dunning ID

Select the IDs that determine the conditions and parameters that the system uses to prepare customer statements and dunning letters. The statement ID also defines the default statement type to generate. You define these IDs in the Statement (STATEMENT_TABLE) and Dunning (DUNNING_TABLES) components.

Generate Statement Image

Select Yes to make statement images available on the Collections Workbench, Correspondence tab, or No to turn off this functionality. You can override this value at the correspondence customer level on the General Information - Correspondence Options Page.

This field controls only the availability of statement images on the Collections Workbench. It does not affect the image displayed in the self-service component, eBill Payment.

For more information, see Setting Up PeopleSoft eBill Payment Security.

See also Correspondence Tab.

Generate Dunning Image

Select Yes to make dunning images available on the Collections Workbench, Correspondence tab, or No to turn off this functionality.

You can override this value at the correspondence customer level on the General Information - Correspondence Options Page.

See also Correspondence Tab

Admin ID (administrative ID), Finance ID, and Penalty ID

Select an overdue charge ID for each of these fields whose overdue charge type matches the field name. These IDs determine the conditions and parameters that the system uses to generate overdue charge invoices. The system also uses these IDs to determine when not to prepare an overdue charge invoice. You define these IDs in the Overdue Charging component (OVRDUE_CHG_TABLE2).

Note: Override the identifiers for statements, dunning letters, and overdue charges for individual customer on the Correspondence Options page.

Remit To Address

Field or Control

Description

Bank

Select the bank of the business unit whose remit to address will appear on correspondence.

Bank Account

Enter the bank account number of the business unit whose remit to address will appear on correspondence.

Federal Options

This section is only available if you select the AR IPAC Interface check box on the Installation Options - Receivables Page

Field or Control

Description

(USF) Billing ALC (billing agency location code)

Enter the agency location code for the billing agency that is sending data. The federal IPAC interface uses the business unit agency location code when transmitting data.

(USF) Sender DO (sender disbursing office)

Enter the disbursing office symbol for the agency location that is sending the transaction using the IPAC interface. This is the five-character ID assigned by the U.S. Department of Treasury.

(USF) IPAC Subcategory

Select a default IPAC subcategory code to be populated by AR Posting when the IPAC header is created.

Subcategory options are:

  • Benefits

  • Borrowings

  • Buy/Sell

  • Capital

  • Custodial Exchange

  • Custodial Non-Exch

  • Expenditure Non-Exch

  • Investments

  • Other

Write-off Tolerances

You must specify the tolerances that the maintenance worksheet and Automatic Maintenance process use to write off items.

Field or Control

Description

Maximum Write-Off Amount

Enter the maximum amount that you can write off for either an individual item or for the remaining balance for a match group. The process writes off an amount less than or equal to the maximum amount if the amount does not exceed the percentage of the original amount for the item. For example, if you enter an amount of 25.00, the process writes off amounts up to 25.00. However, if you enter a maximum write-off percent of 10 and the total original amount of an item is 240.00, the system will not write off more than 24.00.

For no limit, enter all 9s.

Maximum Write-Off Percent

For the maintenance worksheet, enter the maximum percentage of the item amount that the system can write off. The write-off percent applies only to write-offs for individual items, not for remaining amounts for items or match groups.

For the Automatic Maintenance process, enter the maximum percentage that the remaining balance can be for a match group. The process adds the total debits or totals credits and divides the higher amount by the remaining balance for the match group to determine the percentage that can be written off.

The maximum percentage that you can enter is 100. For no limit, enter 100.

Minimum Days Until Write-Off

Enter the minimum age of items before you can write them off on the worksheet or the process automatically writes them off. For example, if you enter 30, you cannot write off an item until it has been in the system for 30 days. For no limit, enter 0.

You can also define the tolerances for each customer on the Bill To Options page. The default tolerances for customers is no limit. You must define tolerances for each entry reason on the Automatic Entry Type - Selection page for the following entry types:

  • Write off a credit (MT-02).

  • Write off a debit (MT-03).

  • Write off remaining credit (MT-06).

  • Write off remaining debit (MT-07).

Because the system always uses the most restrictive tolerance requirement regardless of the level for which you define tolerances, you probably want to use the least restrictive tolerance at the business unit level. For example, suppose that you set up the following write-off tolerances for the deduction write-off amount:

Level

Amount

Business unit: FRA06

100.00

Customer: FRA08

50.00

Entry reason: PROMO

75.00

In this example, the system uses the write-off tolerance for the customer to determine the maximum write-off amount because it is the most restrictive.

Pension Integration

Field or Control

Description

Pension Group Type

Enter any Group Type value acceptable for pending item groups (such as Pension Administration, Billing, entered on-line).

Note: This field does not accept these values: P, M, T, D, X, F, and U. This set of Group Types is delivered as system data; the types are designated for other purposes in Receivables.

The user can enter the same Group Type used for OnLine Pending Item Entry, or Integration with Billing or Integration with other product, but there is also the flexibility to enter a Group Type specific for Pension Integration. The advantage is to have specific Document Type or Journal Template for Integration with HCM, in case it fits better the business needs of the company.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Receivables Options - Payment Options page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Receivables Options - Payment Options page

Field or Control

Description

Payment Method

Select the default payment method for items. Options are: Check, Credit Card, Direct Debit, Draft, Electronic Funds Transfer, or Giro - EFT.

Override the value for individual customers, items or payments.

Note: If you receive payments using a payment interface, such as an electronic data interchange (EDI), lockbox, or bank statement, select Check or Electronic Funds Transfer. If you receive electronic payments for acceptgiro attachments, select Giro - EFT.

Payment Predictor Method

Select the method that the Payment Predictor process uses if you do not specify a method at the customer level. The payment predictor method defines the rules that the process uses to apply payments and to make adjustments such as write-off items.

See Defining Payment Predictor Methods.

If you want to use Payment Predictor to apply all payments from a particular bank account, select the Payment Predictor check box on the External Accounts - Account Information page. Override this default, and select or deselect Payment Predictor for individual payments, using the deposit entry pages.

Format Currency

Select the default currency that the system uses for receivables processing.

Rate Type

Select the exchange rate type that the system uses to perform currency conversion. Override the default at the customer level or when you enter pending items, enter deposits, create maintenance worksheets, or create customer-initiated drafts.

Payment Terms ID

Select the default payment terms for the business unit. Override the default at the customer level or when you enter pending items. Define payment terms on the Payment Terms page. The payment terms determine the item due date and discount information.

Due Grace Days

Enter the number of days beyond the due date that a customer can pay without the payment being considered late. The Overdue Charges Application Engine process (AR_OVRDUE) uses due grace days to determine whether an item is overdue. If the item's due date is May 1, 2003 and you run the process on May 2, 2003, the process does not create an overdue charge if you enter 5 for the due grace days. However, after the grace days pass, the system calculates overdue charges from the item's due date. The Aging process uses grace days to determine in which aging category to place an item. For example, you enter 5 days and an item is 22 days old. You have aging categories for 10, 20, and 30 days. The item would be in the aging category for 10 days, because the system subtracts five days from the age.

Item Transfer Date

Select the option that the system uses to determine the accounting date for transfer activities when you transfer items from one customer to another. Options are:

  • Item Date: The accounting date of the original item.

  • System: The current system date.

Reference Qualifier Code

Select the type of remittance information generally provided by customers, such as document, item, or bill of lading. This is the default value for identifying items to include in the payment, draft, maintenance, and transfer worksheets. You can override the value at the customer level.

Enable Zero Payment Amount

Select this option to allow deposits with zero payment amounts. This option is deselected by default.

You can only save the deposit with zero amount payments if this option is selected, otherwise the system returns an error message indicating that payments with zero amounts are not allowed.

Use Direct Journal Reference

Select this option to allow users to enter document reference information for a directly journaled payment on the Regular Deposit - Payments page.

See: Regular Deposit - Payments Page

Partial Payment Disabled

Enter a value that determines whether you can modify the amount on the payment worksheet to create a partial payment. The default is N, which enables users to create partial payments. Enter Y if you do not want users to create partial payments.

Discount Grace Days

Enter the number of days beyond the discount date that a customer is still eligible for an earned discount. Payment worksheets, express deposits, and the Payment Predictor process use discount grace days to calculate discounts.

Override the due grace days and discount grace days for a customer on the Bill To Options page and for individual items during pending item entry or item maintenance.

Deduction Due Date

Select the type of date that the system uses to determine the due date of the new item created for a referenced deduction. Select Acctng Dt (accounting date) if the due date is to be the accounting date of the payment. Select Item Dt (item date) to carry over the original item due date.

Deduction Reason

Select the default deduction reason to assign to new deductions that the Payment Predictor process or payment and draft worksheet create. Users can override the reason when they create the deduction on the payment worksheet or on the View/Update Item Details - Detail 1 page. Use a generic reason as the default reason and override it as needed.

Note: You can also create unique deduction reasons for each entry reason for the Deduction entry type. If you do this, the system assigns the appropriate deduction reasons for deductions that you create on the payment or draft worksheet.

See Understanding Exception Reasons and Collection Codes.

Revaluation Process Level

Select the level where the revaluation process occurs. Options are: B (business unit), C (customer ID), or I (item). You must specify a revaluation level to summarize revaluation information by a specific level according to these rules:

  • If you summarize at the business unit level, the values for customer ID and item ID are 0.

  • If you summarize at the customer level, the value for the item ID is 0.

  • If you summarize at the item level, each field contains a value.

Enable Write-Off Workflow

Select this check box to activate approval workflow for write-offs entered on the payment worksheet, maintenance worksheet, or draft worksheet. This approval workflow is controlled by the Approval Framework feature in PeopleSoft Enterprise Components. The user is not able to set the worksheet to post until the write-off amount is approved. Both the approver and the worksheet user can set the worksheet to post after approval is granted.

See Setting Up Write-Off Approval Workflow.

(USF) Entity Code and Receivable Type

Enter the default code that identifies the government agency to which you submit the Treasury Report on Receivables (TROR) and the code that categorizes the types of receivables that are included on the report. This value is the default for items. These fields are available only if you select the Treasury Report on Receivables check box on the Installation Options - Receivables page.

Revaluation Process Level

Select the level where the revaluation process occurs. Options are: B (business unit), C (customer ID), or I (item). You must specify a revaluation level to summarize revaluation information by a specific level according to these rules:

  • If you summarize at the business unit level, the values for customer ID and item ID are 0.

  • If you summarize at the customer level, the value for the item ID is 0.

  • If you summarize at the item level, each field contains a value.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Receivables Options - Predictor Detail Options page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Receivables Options - Predictor Detail Options page

The Payment Predictor process uses the tolerances that you specify to write off or adjust an underpayment or overpayment or to adjust the discount amount when you run a payment predictor method that executes the #DTL_TLR or #DTL_TPM algorithm groups. The system uses these tolerances for underpayments to determine whether to write off or adjust the balance, or make a partial payment if the Partial Payment Switch check box on the Bill To Options page for the customer is selected. If you deselect the Partial Payment Switch check box, it only uses the tolerances to determine whether to write off or adjust the balance. The tolerances apply to individual items not to all invoices paid by the payment.

Field or Control

Description

Invoice Tolerance Amount

Enter the maximum amount of an underpayment or overpayment that the Payment Predictor process can write off. The Payment Predictor process can write off an amount below the invoice tolerance amount if it does not exceed the percentage of the payment or item.

For example, suppose that you receive a payment of 1,000.00 EUR. You enter 25.00 EUR for the invoice tolerance amount, and you enter .01 in the Percent field. The Payment Predictor process applies the payment to a 1,023.00 EUR item. It does not write off the remaining amount of the item because 23.00 EUR is larger than 1 percent of the 1,023.00 EUR item.

Note: The currency is the format currency that you entered on the Payment Options page.

Percent

Enter the maximum percentage to write off. You can use decimals in the percentage. If you enter .25 this equals .0025. If you enter 1.00 this equals 1 percent.

Discount Tolerance Amount

Enter the maximum amount of an unearned discount that the Payment Predictor process can take.

To take unearned discounts, users must select the Disc field on the Detail Reference Information page for the payment and enter the discount amount.

Note: The currency is the format currency that you enter on the Payment Options page.

Percent

Enter the maximum percentage that the Payment Predictor process can add to the payment terms. You can use decimals in the percentage. If you enter .25 this equals .0025. If you enter 1.00 this equals 1 percent.

Last Entry Date

Displays the date on which the page was last changed.

Control Bus Unit and Customer (control business unit and customer)

Click the down arrow to display these values:

  • First

    Selecting this value creates WS-06 or WS-07 items for the first business unit and customer ID in the list of items being paid, which is ordered by customer ID.

  • Last

    Selecting this value creates WS-06 or WS-07 for the last business unit and customer ID in the list of items being paid, which is ordered by customer ID.

  • Specify

    When you select this value, you must enter or select a value for each of these fields:

    • A specific control business unit.

    • A specific customer ID.

      If all of the items being paid for in a payment apply to the same business unit and customer, then the system creates adjustment items for that business unit and customer. However, if the items apply to multiple business units or multiple customers, then the system creates adjustment items for the business unit and customer that you specify in these two fields.

Receivables Options - Currency Display Options page

AR Display Currency

Field or Control

Description

Use an AR Display Currency

Select to enable the associated currency options. Use these options to determine which currency transaction and balance amounts appear in the PeopleSoft Receivables inquiry pages, and to determine the default currency that appears on the run control pages for statements and dunning letter processes. Options are:

Business Unit Currency: The system displays amounts in the format currency for the business unit that you defined on the Receivables Options - Payment Options page, and the system uses the exchange rate type for the business unit to convert the amount. The business unit currency is usually the same as the base currency.

Customer Default Currency: The system displays amounts in the default currency for the customer and uses the exchange rate type for the customer to convert the amount. You define customer currency defaults on the Miscellaneous General Info page for the customer.

Other: The system displays amounts in the currency that you specify, and the system uses the exchange rate type that you specify to convert the amounts. Only this option enables you to change the display currency for inquiry pages and the dunning letter and statement run control pages when you access them.

AR Display Currency in Worksheet Pages

The values that you enter here determine the default values that display on the Currency Conversion page for maintenance, payment, and transfer worksheets. You can override the values at the worksheet level if needed. The values are used to convert the item amounts to a different currency and they display in the Conversion Amount - Currency field if you use the Currency Conversion page to convert them.
