Prerequisites To Analyze Financial Transactions

You can begin to analyze financial information after PeopleSoft Cost Management accounting lines are created. To create accounting lines, you need to perform these functions:

• Generate financial transactions by using PeopleSoft Distribution and Manufacturing.

• Execute the Transaction Costing process (CM_COSTING) within the Cost Accounting Creation process to cost the financial transactions.

• Execute the Accounting Line Creation process (CM_ALC) within the Cost Accounting Creation process to generate the accounting lines for the transactions.

Once the accounting lines are created, you can navigate, report on, and view accounting information within PeopleSoft Cost Management before it is processed through the Journal Generator.

After generating the accounting lines for the transactions, you can execute the Journal Generator process (FSPGJGEN) to prepare the transactions for posting to the journal. Once the Journal Generator process is completed, you have the ability to navigate from both PeopleSoft General Ledger and PeopleSoft Cost Management.
