Understanding AAI Setup for Position Budgets

You set up AAIs to specify the accounts in the general ledger that contain position budget information. Someone in the accounting department must set up AAIs in General Accounting; these AAIs cannot be set up from Human Resources.

These AAIs determine which accounts in the general ledger are used to calculate the financials budget that appears on the Work With Business Unit by Organization form (W081200A). You can review the financials budget for a position to determine whether it corresponds to the amount that you entered for the position in Human Resources.

This table shows AAIs for position budgeting. The system adds the amounts in all the accounts between and including the first and last accounts to calculate the financials budget.

AAI

Description

HRLT

The ledger type where budget information is stored.

HRSB

The first account in the range of object accounts for a business unit.

HRSE

The last account in the range of object accounts for a business unit.

You should create these three AAIs for each company in the organization that has position budgets. The system stores AAIs in the Automatic Accounting Instructions Master table (F0012).
