Running Incremental Processes

Many General Ledger – period end processes use ledger data. After making potential changes to ledger data for a period, it can be time consuming to re-run each period end process.

Incremental processes perform these tasks:

• Manage entries into a staging table.

• Send a table name to the calling process, which is pre-populated with the correct incremental ledger data.

• Control the clean-up process of the staging table with data that is no longer needed.

This diagram is a general illustration that shows that the full process must be run before the incremental process can be run:

This diagram illustrates that before running an incremental process, you must run the process in full first.

PeopleSoft has designed these processes to run incrementally:

• Summary Ledger (GL_SUML) – See Running the Summary Ledger Process Incrementally.

• Multi-currency (FS_MC) – See Initiating Multicurrency Processing.

• Ledger Close (GL_YC) See Running the Close Process
