Setting Up Intraunit Processing

Intraunit processing creates balancing entries for transfers between ChartFields (such as Fund) within the same business unit. You can perform intraunit balancing on any ChartField within the business unit except account. You must first define the ChartField combinations for intraunit receivables and interunit payables that the system uses to create offsetting accounting entries. When you run the Accounting Line Creation process, the system checks for intraunit entries and creates the balancing entries using a subprocessor called ChartField Balancing (CM_IU_ACCTG).

The ChartField Balancing process compares debit and credit ChartFields (except Account) for the same item and cost element. If the ChartFields are not the same, the system creates the intraunit receivables or intraunit payables accounting entry.

For example, suppose that you enter this transaction for the same item and cost element. The system is set up for intraunit balancing on the fund ChartField. The intraunit payable account is 4003 and the interunit receivables account is 4002 for the transaction:

The Accounting Line Creation process creates the Due To and Due From transaction:
