Monitoring Intercompany Transactions

You use the Monitor Intercompany Transactions feature to monitor the intercompany transaction matching process. When a large number of intercompany transactions are entered to the system in a period, the matching process can be time-consuming to ensure that all transactions are entered and matched successfully. Since not all transactions are entered at the same time, administrators need to monitor the matching process. The Monitor Intercompany Transactions feature enables you to easily find out which intercompany partners have started their intercompany transactions process.

To monitor Intercompany transactions, you must be assigned the Intercompany Transaction Administrator security role, which enables you to view Process status, Lock status, entity details, intercompany transactions summary, and perform email alerts.

The Intercompany Transactions Monitor page displays a list of intercompany entities with their Process status and Lock status. You can filter the display by Entity, Process status or Lock status. The entities are links to Intercompany Transactions Monitor Detail information. When you click an entity, the system displays the number of posted and unposted transactions by status, such as Matched, Mismatched, or Unmatched.

Table 14-2 Entity Status for Intercompany Transactions

Status	Description
Not Started	The entity has no intercompany transactions for the scenario, year, and period in the point of view.
Started	The entity has at least one intercompany transaction for the scenario, year and period in the point of view.
Not Lockable	An entity has a status of Not Lockable if you selected Match/Validate Before Post for the period, but you did not post matched transactions or mismatched transactions with a reason code.

You can click an entity in the list to view the total number of posted and unposted transactions for the entity, categorized by matching status.

For example, if you click the plus (+) sign next to an Entity A to expand it, the page displays the number of posted and unposted transactions by status for Entity A. If you click the value for unposted transactions in the Unmatched column, the system links to the Manage Intercompany Transactions page, with the filtering selected to display the unposted transactions with an Unmatched status for Entity A. You can expand multiple entities simultaneously to view their details.

You can send email alerts for any of the entities in the Intercompany Transactions Monitor page. See the Oracle Hyperion Financial Management User's Guide .
