Interunit and Intraunit Overview

PeopleSoft Receivables creates interunit accounting entries for these transactions:

  • Payments made on the payment, draft, and direct debit worksheet or using the Payment Predictor Application Engine process (ARPREDCT), where the payment, draft, or direct debit is processed using a bank account that reflects a general ledger business unit that differs from the item's general ledger business unit.

  • Transactions entered on the maintenance worksheet or created by the Automatic Maintenance Application Engine process (AR_AUTOMNT) to offset items from other general ledger business units.

  • Items transferred from one business unit to another, where the general ledger business units are different.

  • Direct journal transactions where the deposit is processed using a bank account that reflects a general ledger business unit that differs from the general ledger business unit where revenue is recorded.

The system populates the ChartFields for interunit accounting entries based on the rules that you specify.

Note:

If you enable the Use Affiliate option for the Business Unit ChartField for a ledger group, the system populates the Affiliate ChartField with the other business unit involved in the transaction. Otherwise, it leaves the Affiliate ChartField blank.

PeopleSoft Receivables creates intraunit accounting entries for the following transactions if you enable ChartField balancing for a ledger group on the Ledger Groups - Balancing page and if balancing ChartField values in the transactions differ in any of the distribution lines:

  • Transactions on the payment, draft, or direct debit worksheet or transactions created by the Payment Predictor process.

    IntraUnit entries are created only when monetary amounts are not balanced between the IntraUnit related fields. It is recommended that your system be set up so that the IntraUnit Balancing Entries check box is selected on the Ledger Groups - Balancing page, and that Use Affiliate is specified for at least one field.

  • Transactions on the maintenance worksheet or transactions created by the Automatic Maintenance process, such as refunds and offsetting items with different balanced ChartFields.

  • Transactions on the transfer worksheet.

  • Direct journal transactions.

When you generate accounting entries, the Pending Group Generator Application Engine process (AR_PGG_SERV) calls the central processor (IU_PROCESSOR) to create the interunit and intraunit accounting entries.
