Understanding the Pending Group Generator Application Engine Process

All logic for creating accounting entries resides in the Pending Group Generator. The Pending Group Generator Application Engine process (AR_PGG_SERV) is a component of Receivables Update that creates all the accounting entries in PeopleSoft Receivables and:

• Runs each time the Receivables Update multiprocess job runs.

• Creates accounting entries for payment, overdue charges, maintenance, transfer, direct debit, and draft groups, depending on your setup.

• Creates accounting entries for online billing groups or for external billing groups when the billing interface does not provide accounting entries and PeopleSoft Receivables has been set up to create accounting entries.

• Calls the centralized Inter/IntraUnit Application Engine process to create interunit and intraunit accounting entries.

Pending Group Generator is the second step in the Receivables Update process.

You normally run Pending Group Generator online in a test environment when you want to make sure that your setup is generating the appropriate accounting entries. After the process creates accounting entries, you can review the results online on one of the Accounting Entries pages.
