Using a Single-Feed Data System

Consider the method of posting from feeder systems to PeopleSoft Project Costing, which then posts to PeopleSoft General Ledger, under these circumstances:

  • PeopleSoft Project Costing and PeopleSoft General Ledger are used with few or no other PeopleSoft applications.

  • Transactions are posted to PeopleSoft Project Costing from third-party feeder systems, and Project Costing posts to PeopleSoft General Ledger using the Journal Generator.

  • Transactions with accounting implications are manually entered or calculated in PeopleSoft Project Costing and need to be distributed using the Journal Generator.

    Examples of this are the calculation of interest costs on construction of assets or project-to-project allocations.

This diagram illustrates data moving from feeder systems directly into PeopleSoft Project Costing and then posting to PeopleSoft General Ledger:
