The pages used to review pending items that are loaded with a billing interface resemble the pages for entering items online. However, they require a different navigation path, and the path that you use determines the information that can be displayed or updated.

Use the External Items menu options for unposted groups that you interfaced from your billing system.

Use the Online Items menu options to:

  • Enter groups online.

  • Update an existing online group.

    These groups can be either groups that you entered online or system-generated groups, such as overdue charges groups.

The following table describes the four components that you can use for both online and external groups:

Menu Name

Description

Group Entry

Use this option to enter a new group or to view all pending items in a small group (about 50 pending items or less).

Single Item

Use this option to access a single pending item when the group is too large for the system to handle within the pending item entry scroll. This is useful when you want to update a single item in a very large group.

Large Group

Use this option to open a large group and add a row for a new pending item. The system automatically increments the count for the control total by one.

Note: You can add rows for new pending items only for online groups.

Overdue Charges Items

Use for groups that you generated using the Overdue Charges Application Engine process (AR_OVRDUE). This option is available only on the Online Items menu.

You can work only with groups that have not been posted.

PeopleSoft Receivables also provides three components that enable you to quickly set a group to post. To access these components, use one of the following navigation paths:

  • For external groups, select Accounts Receivable > Pending Items > Change Pending Group Action > External Pending Items.

  • For online groups, select Accounts Receivable > Pending Items > Change Pending Group Action > Online Pending Items.

  • For overdue charges groups, select Accounts Receivable > Pending Items > Change Pending Group Action > Overdue Charge Pending Grp Act

This documentation discusses how to:

  • Enter or update group control information.

  • Complete the Pending Item 1 page.

  • Review summarized VAT information.

  • Review VAT header defaults.

  • Review VAT line information.

  • Complete the Pending Item 2 page.

  • Complete the Pending Item 3 page.

  • (IND) Enter tax information for India.

  • (IND) View tax details for India.

  • Create and review accounting entries online.

  • Select a group action.

Use the Group Control page (GROUP_ENTRY1) to enter or update control information.

Navigation:

  • Accounts Receivable > Pending Items > Online Items > Online Item Group Entry > Group Control

  • Accounts Receivable > Pending Items > External Items > Group Entry > Group Control

  • Alternatively, select Single Item, Large group, or Overdue Charge Items instead of Group Entry.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Online Pending - Group Control page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Group Control page

This page displays control and header information for a group of pending items. At a minimum, you need to enter a group type, origin ID, control amount, and control count.

If the group contains pending items in different currencies, you can handle the control total using the following approaches:

  • If your organization requires pending item groups in a single currency, split the pending items into separate groups by currency and enter the control currency for each group.

    This restricts all pending items to the selected currency and ensures that your control total is meaningful in the selected currency.

  • If your organization uses control amounts to check matching pending item amounts with the group total, leave multicurrency items in a single group.

    In this case, the control total is a hash total (###), representing the total amount of the pending items, irrespective of currency.

Field or Control

Description

Group ID

Displays the group ID for the group. When you save this page, the system assigns the next available group ID. The group ID is based on the settings made on the Business Unit Definition page. You can override automatic numbering by entering your own group ID.

Accounting Date

Displays the accounting date that is the default for each pending item in the group. The date determines the fiscal year and accounting period to which the pending item is posted. This date determines the VAT declaration date if the declaration point is Accounting Date.

Group Type

Select one of the group types that you defined for billing.

Origin ID

Select the group origin ID, for example OBILL (online billing). The system assigns an origin ID that is valid for external entry to groups that are received through the billing interface.

Control Currency

Select a currency only if you want all pending items in the group to have the same currency.

Format Currency

Displays the default format currency value that you entered on the Receivables Data Entry 2 page. The system uses the format currency to determine the default currency of the pending item amounts that you enter. If you enter a control currency, the format currency changes to that value, and the field becomes unavailable for entry.

Control

Enter the group control totals: the total monetary amount of pending items in this group and the control count (the total number of pending items in this group). The system compares the control amount and count with the entered amount and count and calculates the difference.

The control amount must match the entered totals amount before you can post the pending items in this group. In other words, the difference should be 0.

After you post a group, you view the posted amount and count for the group using inquiry pages.

Received and Entered

Indicate when the group was received into the system and when items were entered. Use these fields to indicate processing delays, such as a department receiving the credit memo on Thursday, but not entering the items until Friday. These fields are informational only and appear on inquiry pages.

Assign

Select the user ID of the user who will enter pending item information. The user ID of the assigned user appears in the User field.

Edit Status

Indicates whether pending items have been edited. Edited indicates that pending items have been edited. (Most online groups have a status of Edited). Not Edited indicates that external groups have not yet been processed by the Receivables Update process.

Balanced

Indicates that the system has balanced the online group. If the value is No, the pending item group has not yet been processed by the Receivable Update process and the group may not actually be out of balance. To determine whether a group is really out of balance, click the Balance button on the Group Action page.

Posting Status

Indicates whether pending items have been posted. Not Posted indicates that the groups have not yet been processed by the Receivables Update process. After Receivable Update runs, the posting status is either Errors or Complete.

Accounting Entries

Indicates whether accounting entries for pending items are Balanced or Not Balanced.

Posting Action

Displays the posting action that you selected on the Group Action page: Do Not Post, Post Now, Post Now to GL, Batch Priority, or Batch Standard.

Use the Online Pending - Pending Item 1 page (GROUP_ENTRY2) to enter information about individual pending items, such as the entry type and reason, payment terms, and discount data.

Navigation:

  • Accounts Receivable > Pending Items > Online Items > Online Item Group Entry > Pending Item 1

  • Accounts Receivable > Pending Items > External Items > Group Entry > Pending Item 1

  • Alternatively, select Single Item, Large group, or Overdue Charge Items instead of Group Entry.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Pending Item 1 page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Pending Item 1 page

Pending Item Entry

Field or Control

Description

Accounting Date

Displays the date entered on the Group Control page. The date determines the fiscal year and accounting period used to post the item for both PeopleSoft Receivables and PeopleSoft General Ledger. This date determines the VAT declaration date if the declaration point is Accounting Date.

As Of Date

Enter a date, which is usually the same as the accounting date. You can use a different date for aging. You can also use this date to record the invoice date used to calculate payment terms.

Item ID

Enter a number that describes the pending item, such as the invoice number. While you enter pending items, the system assigns each row a sequence number, which appears as you scroll through the pending items on the page.

Line

Enter a line number when you want to enter more than one amount or entry type for the same item ID.

Copy Line

Click to add the next line number and automatically copy some of the pending item information to the new row if you need to divide an invoice into multiple lines. You need to complete the AR Dist (accounts receivable distribution code), Entry Type, and Reason fields on the new row.

Business Unit and Customer

Enter the business unit and customer ID.

A customer can exist in more than one business unit with the same ID. The business unit that you specify determines which customer the pending item is posted to. The customer business unit does not need to match the group business unit, although typically it does.

SubCustomer 1 and SubCustomer 2

Displays subcustomer qualifiers, which come from the customer, if the feature is enabled. You specify whether to use the subcustomer feature and, if so, the number of qualifiers for the entire installation on the Installation Options - Overall page. The default subcustomer qualifiers for customers are specified on the Miscellaneous General Info page. You can override the default qualifiers for individual pending items. You use these subcustomer qualifiers for tracking history and aging information and to filter item lists on inquiry pages.

Amount and Currency

Enter the amount and currency for the pending item. If the entry currency differs from the base currency of the receivables business unit, the system handles the conversion automatically and displays the base currency equivalent.

Entry Type and Reason

Enter the entry type and reason used to create the pending item. Entry types and entry reasons are among the most important pieces of information associated with a pending item. They determine how accounting entries are created, how they are carried with the pending item through posting, and how they are considered when history is generated. They are also used as identifiers for open items, determine how items are aged, and determine whether accounting entries are included on customer correspondence and drafts.

AR Dist (accounts receivable distribution)

Select the distribution code that governs the ChartFields that are used when the system generates accounting entries.

To create a single receivables (AR) line for accounting entries, use the default or override the default with a different code. The system obtains the default AR distribution code in the following order:

  1. From the entry reason on the Item Entry Type - Selection page.

  2. From the customer on the General Information - Bill To Options page.

  3. From the business unit on the Receivables Definition - Accounting Options 1 page.

Entry Event

Enter an entry event code for the item to create supplemental accounting entries if entry events are enabled for PeopleSoft Receivables.

See Understanding Entry Events.

Revalue Flg (revalue flag)

Select if you want the Revaluation Application Engine process (AR04000) to revalue the item.

Attachments

Click to view/ add attachments. See Installation Options - Multiple Attachments Page to define the maximum attachment upload limit for various products.

Inbound IPAC

Select this check box if you want to be able to select an item for inbound IPAC processing. This field is displayed only if the IPAC check box is selected in the AR installation options and the customer is identified as a federal customer. If an item is selected for inbound IPAC processing, outbound IPAC transactions will not be created. Deselect this check box if the item was incorrectly selected for inbound IPAC processing.

Error Info (error information)

Appears only when errors are present. Click to open a page where you can view more details about the error.

Document Sequence

Click to access a page where you can enter document sequencing information. This button is available only if you enabled the document sequencing feature for the PeopleSoft General Ledger business unit.

See Using Document Sequencing.

TROR Type (USF)

Click this link to access the Receivables Item Type / Code page (AR_SF220_TYPES), where you can enter an entity code and receivable type for a pending item. This information is required for the Treasury Report on Receivables (TROR). This link is available only if you selected the Treasury Report on Receivables check box on the Installation Options - Receivables page.

Payment Terms

If you do not enter payment terms, the system checks to determine whether you have set them at the next level up—the customer level. If you specified payment terms on the Bill To Options page for the customer, the system draws them from there. If you did not set payment terms for this customer, the system uses the terms that you associated with the business unit on the Receivables Options - Accounting Options 2 page. If no payment terms are specified, the system prompts you to enter a payment terms code or a due date.

Field or Control

Description

Terms

Displays the default payment terms code. Change the default, or leave this field blank. If you change the default, you cannot use the discount fields. If you leave this field blank, you can enter the discount amounts and dates of your choice.

Due Date

If no default values exist for the discount fields, you still must enter a due date. If the due date falls on a bank holiday, the system adjusts it automatically. This field is required for the Aging Application Engine process (AR_AGING).

Due Days

Enter grace days or leeway to the payment terms.

Disc Days (discount days)

Enter the number of days past the discount date during which the customer is still eligible to receive a discount.

Always Allow Discount

Select during conversion and for preferred customers. Select to override previously set discount parameters and ensure that a customer receives a discount regardless of due date and payment date. Payment worksheets and Payment Predictor use this check box.

Note: If discounts must be included in VAT calculations, then enter the payment terms before entering the VAT amounts.

VAT Control Totals

Use this group box to enter control amounts for VAT and to access the VAT Header and VAT Lines pages where you can view and, if applicable, manually override VAT default values.

Field or Control

Description

VAT Transaction Amount

Enter the control amount for the transaction amount that is subject to VAT. This is typically the transaction amount printed on the invoice.

If you are entering an item online, the system populates the Transaction Amount field for the first VAT line with the control amount. If you create additional VAT lines, you must change the transaction amount for each line so that they add up to the amount of the control amount. You have to open the VAT lines page and enter a VAT override amount.

VAT Amount

Enter the control amount for the VAT amount in this field. This is typically the VAT amount printed on the invoice. The system compares the total recorded VAT amount for all the VAT lines on the VAT Lines page to the control amount. The system automatically calculates the VAT for each line. You need to enter an override VAT amount only if the calculated VAT amount does not match the VAT amount on the invoice. If you enter an override VAT amount, the system uses this as the recorded amount. Otherwise, the system uses the calculated VAT amount as the recorded amount.

VAT Summary

Click to open the VAT Summary Information page where you can view summarized VAT header information and VAT line information in one place.

VAT Header

Click to open the VAT Header page, where you can review VAT defaults as well as access VAT details for the VAT line. When you click this link, the system retrieves the VAT defaults based on your VAT setup and entered customer information.

VAT Header page (2 of 2)

Review and manually override VAT header defaults, as applicable.

VAT defaults appear in descending order of impact. When you change multiple VAT defaults and click Adjust Affected VAT Defaults, specific fields may be adjusted. You should work from the top to the bottom of the page, clicking Adjust Affected VAT Defaults at appropriate times to avoid adjustments to VAT defaults that you overrode but did not memorize.

For example, if you override Calculate at Gross or Net and click Adjust Affected VAT Defaults, nothing happens because Calculate at Gross or Net does not affect any other VAT defaults. If you then override Customer Registration Country and click Adjust Affected VAT Defaults again, the system adjusts all VAT defaults except customer registration country. This time, Calculate at Gross or Net is overridden, which means that you probably have to override this VAT default again to undo the adjustment.

Note: Because complex algorithms are used to obtain the VAT header defaults, avoid manually changing these values as much as possible. If you must make changes, make sure that you understand how those changes will affect the way the system calculates VAT amounts and how the VAT will be recorded and reported.

Field or Control

Description

Field or Control

Description

Calculate at Gross or Net

Indicates how VAT is calculated. Options are:

Gross: The system calculates VAT before it applies any early payment discounts.

Net: The system calculates VAT after it deducts early payment discounts. If two percentage discounts exist, the system uses the larger of the two when it calculates VAT. The system does not use discount amounts, only discount percentages.

The default value comes from the VAT entity driver.

Recalculate at Payment

Select to enable the recalculation of VAT at payment time to allow for any early payment discounts if you are calculating VAT at gross. This causes the system to adjust the VAT amount at the time of payment if the discount has been taken. This is set on the VAT entity driver.

Declaration Point

For a good or a service, displays when you want VAT transaction information to be recognized for reporting purposes. Options are:

Accounting Date: VAT is recognized at the accounting date of the transaction. The user cannot override the declaration date when this option is selected.

For services, displays the country in which the VAT is liable.

Treatment Group

Displays the VAT treatment group. Options are Domestic Sales, Exports, European Union Sales, No VAT Processing, and Out of Scope.

Within the PeopleSoft system, detail VAT treatment values on the transaction lines are used for applying the precise defaults applicable to the transaction lines. Each of these detail VAT treatment values are associated with a VAT treatment group. The system tracks the VAT treatment group on the header enabling individual transaction lines to be grouped together into invoices during batch processes and to validate the detail line VAT treatment values on the transaction lines.

Adjust/Reset VAT Defaults

Any changes that you make to fields on this page may affect VAT defaults on this page. For accuracy and consistency, use the following fields to adjust affected VAT defaults or to reset all VAT defaults. Adjusting or resetting VAT defaults affects only fields within the VAT Defaults group box.

Treatment

Displays the VAT treatment. Options are:

Deemed Service Export: Services that are provided in the supplier's country to a foreign buyer, where the supply of these services must be zero-rated (that is, the place of supply is the country in which the supplier is located and registered for VAT, but the customer is located in another country).

Domestic Goods Sale: Sale of goods when the supplier and customer are located in the same country.

Domestic Reverse Charge Sale: Sale of goods when the domestic reverse charge provision is required.

Domestic Service Sale: Sale of services when the supplier and customer are located in the same country.

EU Goods Sale: Sale of goods between EU countries.

EU Sale (Simplification): Used for a transaction between an intermediary and the purchaser in cases in which a sale of goods occurs between EU countries involving three parties: the purchaser, an intermediary (bill-from) supplier, and the actual goods supplier. Each party is located in a different EU country and registered in its own country, and not in either of the other two countries. The only difference between this VAT treatment and that applied to normal EU sales is that the supplier is required to print a different message on the invoice referencing the statute that applies to triangulation, rather than the one that references the statute for normal EU sales.

No VAT Processing: No VAT processing is required.

Out of Scope EU Service Sale: EU services are out of the scope of VAT.

Out of Scope Service Export: Services that are provided in the supplier's country to a foreign buyer, where services are out of scope for VAT.

Outside of Scope: Outside the scope of VAT.

Zero-Rated EU Service Sale: Sale of services within the EU is subject to zero-rated VAT.

Zero-Rated Goods Export: Export of goods is subject to zero-rated VAT.

Zero-Rated Services Export: Export of services is subject to zero-rated VAT.

The Distribution Lines grid displays the individual lines for a single item. To see the accounting lines for a different pending item, use the Accounting Entries group box.

The accounting entries that appear are based on the item entry template and are either system-defined or user-defined. For billing groups, you can edit both system-defined receivables lines and user-defined (revenue) lines. You can have multiple lines for each. For other group types, you can edit the receivables lines only for transactions that do not reference existing items, but you can edit the user-defined lines. If you selected Always Inherit or Inherit within BU for the inheritance option, you cannot modify the ChartField values.

See ChartField Inheritance.

If you receive a ChartField Combination editing error message, you may need to make the correction before you run the Receivables Update process depending on the setup for the business unit on the Receivables Options - General 2 page. If you receive an error message, you must correct the error before you post the pending item group. If you receive a warning message, you can post the group without correcting the errors.

ChartField Combination Error Tab

A single error message appears for a pending item if at least one item distribution line has a ChartField combo edit error. This message instructs the user to refer to the ChartField Combo Error tab for further details about the error. The ChartField Combo Error tab appears in the Distribution Lines grid. This tab identifies the specific fields and combination group that were used to compare against the distribution line with the error. If no errors occur, this tab does not appear.

(USF) Entering TAS and BETC Details

When you create accounting entries online or in batch using the Receivables Update, the system provides default TAS and BETC values on the distribution lines. The TAS and BETC values are available on the distribution lines by first selecting the CTA check box on the Installation Options - Receivables Page. Once you see the Billing ALC field on the Receivables Options - General 1 Page, you can set the ALC to be a GWA Reporter for Receivables.

To view TAS and BETC values, click the TAS and BETC Details link in the Distribution Lines grid on each accounting line. The TAS and BETC fields are required when the agency is a GWA Reporter for Receivables.

The system derives the TAS and BETC using the Fund Code value on the accounting line. The Fund Code is a required field when the agency is a GWA Reporter for Receivables, and you must enter a Fund Code on the accounting lines. The system defaults the BETC based on the TAS value only when there is just one BETC code defined for Collections. When more than one collection BETC is defined, you select the BETC code from a dynamic prompt based on the TAS code.

If accounting entries are created in batch using Receivables Update processing, the group is available in the error correction component to fix a missing fund code, set up a missing TAS or BETC, or select one BETC where more than one BETC has been defined.

For Direct Journal payments, accounting entries are always created online not in batch, by PeopleCode not AR_PGG_SERV.

For Classification Transactions and Accountability (CTA) processing, entry events should be set up as required for Receivables.
