This documentation discusses how to:

  • Build a customer or business unit transfer worksheet.

  • Select the to customer, business unit, and items.

  • Modify item information.

  • Select a transfer worksheet action.

Use the transfer worksheet to transfer items to another customer or business unit. The customers can be in the same business unit or different business units, or they can be assigned to different subcustomer levels within a single customer.

When you transfer an item from one business unit to another, the GL account and ChartFields assigned to the Transfer Control Distribution code must exist in both the business unit from which you are transferring the item and the business unit to which you are transferring the item.

You can transfer items with value-added tax (VAT) as long as all the From customers' and To customers' receivables business units point to the same VAT entity. You can transfer payments that are put on account between two PeopleSoft Receivables business units.

Note: You cannot transfer multiple items that have the same item and item line number to another customer. For example, suppose that you have three customers that have items with the same item and item line numbers. In this case, you can combine the three items into one item on the maintenance worksheet using the target customer's number.

After you complete the transfer worksheet and select a posting action, you must run the Receivables Update process (AR_UPDATE) to transfer the items, create accounting entries, and post the results.

Use the Transfer Selection page (TRN_IDENTIFY) to build a customer business unit or transfer worksheet.

Field or Control

Description

Customer Criteria

Select the type of customer items that you want to display on the worksheet. Values are:

Corporate Items: Displays corporate items only.

Customer Items: Displays all customer items only.

Remit From Items: Displays remit from items only.

None: The system creates a blank worksheet.

Cust ID (customer ID), Business Unit, SubCustomer 1, and SubCustomer 2

Enter the customer's ID and the business unit to construct a worksheet for a specific customer. If the customer has subcustomers that were set up on the SubCustomer Qualifier 1 and SubCustomer Qualifier 2 pages, enter the qualifiers to narrow the worksheet display even further.

Reference Options

Field or Control

Description

Reference Criteria

Select an option to restrict reference criteria to search for only a Range of References, Specific Values, or no values (None). If you decide to enter only reference options, the worksheet contains items matching the references.

Match Rule

If you selected Specific Value or Range of References in the Reference Criteria field, specify the match type for the item information. Values are Exact Match and Like Match. A like match enables you to use a specific reference and range for reference values to identify the reference, as long as you provide the beginning letters or numbers, not characters from the middle. For example, if you enter a purchase order (PO) number of 24%, and select Like Match, the worksheet contains all items with PO numbers beginning with 24, but does not catch a PO number of x24x.

If you selected Specific Value in the Reference Criteria field, enter the reference value in the Reference field.
