Loading Budgets from Third-Party Applications

If you formulate budgets in a third-party application, you can interface the budget information to General Ledger and maintain the budget information directly in the Commitment Control ledger. You must first set up Commitment Control ledger groups and budget definitions for the budget journals.

There are two methods to import budgets to Commitment Control from third-party applications:

• Use the Commitment Control Budget Update Enterprise Integration Point to receive Commitment Control journals and update budgets.

• Use the Commitment Control Budget Journal Flat File Import process to import budget data directly from flat files.

Using the Commitment Control Budget Update IP

To use this IP, you must activate the COMMIT_CNTRL_BUDGET_UPDATE application message and it's related integration objects. Please see General Ledger "Integrating and Transferring Information Among Applications" for more details.

The IP receives Commitment Control journals into the PS_KK_BUDGET_HDR and PS_KK_BUDGET_LN tables and automatically runs the Commitment Control Posting process (FS_BP).

Prepare your budget data from the third party system as budget journals and send them to Commitment Control as asynchronous messages using this IP. Just as with any application messages, you can monitor the messaging flow using the Integration Broker Message Monitor, and verify the budget journal posting process from the Process Monitor.

Using a Flat File to Update Budgets

If your external system is not capable of generating application messages to PeopleSoft, you can prepare your budget data in flat files and import the data using the Commitment Control Budget Journal Flat File Import process.
