Source Document Adjusting Entries and Entry Event Processing

Occasionally, the entry event processor creates transactions for a document and then a user makes changes to the document in the source system. The system handles the entry event processing differently depending on the application:

  • Payables.

    The posting processes create the adjusting entries, including the accounts that are set up for the entry event code, and these adjustments are processed as normal accounting entries.

  • Purchasing.

    Purchasing does not create adjusting entries. Instead, the entry event processor reverses the change in the document and inserts adjusting entries in the target record. You must process the entire document again to recreate the entry event transactions. For example, if you change a PO that was created from a requisition, the process must be reprocessed.

  • Commitment Control as the source record.

    In normal processing, the Commitment Control feature deletes and inserts lines for a document every time budget checking runs. The Commitment Control processor inserts new lines with the entry event process status Not Generated. When the entry event processor runs, these lines are regenerated. If this is a previously generated document, the document in the entry event accounting record is reversed because the system inserts reversing entries and creates entry event transactions for the document based on the rows in the source record. The entry event processor creates adjustments and does not require any additional setup from the user.

    Note:

    Adjustment processing creates additional lines in the entry event accounting record.
