Base Rules

Three types of billing AAIs are available for the system to use to create revenue recognition and invoice journal entries. The type of journal processing that you select in the system constants controls whether the system is restricted from using a specific table type. Each applicable type must contain a base rule that defines how the system creates journal entries.

This table shows the relationship between the Journal Generation Control field in the system constants and the billing AAI table number:

Process	Journal Generation Control Setting	Billing AAI Table Number
Invoices only	1	4811, Actual Revenue - Credit
Revenue recognition only	2	4832, Accrued Receivables 4811, Actual Revenue - Credit
Invoices and revenue recognition without revenue reconciliation	3	4832, Accrued Receivables 4811, Actual Revenue - Credit
Invoices and revenue recognition with revenue reconciliation	4	4831, Accrued Revenue 4832, Accrued Receivables 4811, Actual Revenue - Credit

Note: The system uses the RC AAI for accounts receivable when you generate invoices. The RC AAI does not apply if you are processing revenue recognition only.

This table shows how the system uses the base rules to create the accounting journal entries. The amount basis results from either the invoicing, revenue recognition, or cost process.
