Booking and Managing Revenue

PeopleSoft Grants integrates with PeopleSoft Project Costing and PeopleSoft Contracts to send revenue entries for award transactions to PeopleSoft General Ledger. To book revenue entries to PeopleSoft General Ledger, you need to run a series of processes ending with a process to update the tables in PeopleSoft Project Costing and PeopleSoft Contracts.

Before you can run the processes that create and book your revenue accounting entries to PeopleSoft General Ledger, make sure that the underlying revenue structures are in place.

Overall System Level

Because PeopleSoft Grants uses processes and features that are associated with other applications to recognize revenue, make sure that you perform these steps:

Step	Purpose	Navigation
Define contract asset and revenue account codes.	Tells the system where to store contract asset information.	Set Up Financials/Supply Chain > Common Definitions > Distribution Accounting > Distribution Code See Establishing Distribution Rules and Sets.
Define InterUnit templates.	Associates transaction codes with accounting entry types for which you provide ChartField values to complete partial InterUnit entries. InterUnit transactions involve business units.	Set Up Financials/Supply Chain > Common Definitions > Inter/Intra Unit > InterUnit Template See Setting Up Interunit and Intraunit Processing.
Define IntraUnit templates.	Associates transaction codes with accounting entry types for which you provide ChartField values to complete partial Inter/IntraUnit entries. IntraUnit transactions occur within a single PeopleSoft General Ledger business unit and involve more than one value in a lower-level balancing ChartField.	Set Up Financials/Supply Chain > Common Definitions > Inter/IntraUnit > IntraUnit Template See Setting Up Interunit and Intraunit Processing.
Associate the Inter/IntraUnit templates with the PeopleSoft General Ledger business unit.	Tells the Inter/IntraUnit processor what IntraUnit templates to use to process transactions.	Set Up Financials/Supply Chain > Business Unit Related > General Ledger > General Ledger Definition > Inter/IntraUnit See Understanding General Ledger Business Units and Options.
Define Journal Generator templates.	Converts the entries into a format that PeopleSoft General Ledger can understand.	General Ledger, Journals, Subsystem Journals, Journal Generator Template See Understanding General Ledger Journal Entries.

The Inter/IntraUnit processor automatically creates balanced accounting entries when the entries are out of balance at the business unit level or at a lower level ChartField (like Fund or DeptID).
