Prerequisites for Transferring Receivables

Before you can use a transfer worksheet to transfer items, you must:

• Create automatic entry types for these transfer system function IDs:

  • TR-01 (transfer item from customer).

  • TR-02 (transfer item to customer).

  • TR-03 (transfer item to the Doubtful Receivables account).

• Create a distribution code for the doubtful receivables account using the doubtful distribution type.

• Assign a default doubtful distribution code to the business unit.

• Create control distribution codes for transfer worksheets and assign a default control distribution code to the business unit.

  Note: When you are transferring an item from one business unit to another, the GL account and ChartFields assigned to the Transfer Control Distribution Code (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Business Unit Related, Receivables, Receivables Definition, Accounting Options 2 page) must exist in both the transfer from business unit and the transfer to business unit.

• Set up reference qualifiers to identify the types of references to use when building the worksheet.

You also must enter the items into the system and run the Receivables Update Application Engine process (ARUPDATE) to post the items.
