Receivables Update Multiprocess Job

The Receivables Update multiprocess job (ARUPDATE) consists of up to eight steps. This table describes each step:

Step	Description
Receivables Update Application Engine process (ARUPDATE)	The process takes groups from all worksheets that are set to post and creates the GROUP_CONTROL and PENDING_ITEM records. (For pending item groups entered online or imported from a billing system, or for groups whose accounting entries have been created online, the GROUP_CONTROL and PENDING_ITEM records already exist.) This step prepares tables for parallel processing. Note: Any parameters that you add to narrow the scope or to change processing are ignored in the first step.
Pending Group Generator multiprocess job (AR_PGG)	The AR_PGG multiprocess job runs a predefined number of Pending Group Generator Application Engine processes (AR_PGG_SERV) in parallel. The Pending Group Generator process creates accounting entries and VAT lines for any groups that are set to post. This includes the output from the Receivables Update process (ARUPDATE), as well as any billing groups for which accounting entries are not already created. The process creates VAT lines only for certain types of system-generated groups. Note: For this step, you can narrow the scope of processing by one field.
Posting multiprocess job (AR_POST)	The AR_POST multiprocess job runs a predefined number of AR Posting Application Engine (AR_POSTING) processes in parallel. This process posts the transactions in each group. Note: For this step, you can specify multiple narrowing and chunking options.
(Optional) Entry Events Generator Application Engine process (FS_EVENTGEN)	Each AR Posting process calls the Entry Events Generator process to generate entry events. Entry events enable PeopleSoft Receivables to create standard accounting entries automatically based on accounting lines generated by receivables document posting. This process runs only if you have the options for processing entry events selected at the installation level and on the Receivable Update Request - Options page. See Application Fundamentals: Understanding Entry Events.
Receivables Update Clean Application Engine process (AR_UPDATE2)	This process updates customer history for all business units and performs cleanup tasks.
(Optional) Revenue Estimate Application Engine process (AR_REV_EST)	The AR_UPDATE2 process calls the Revenue Estimate process to create source transactions for control budgets if you have enabled the commitment control feature for PeopleSoft Receivables and the business unit.
(Optional) Budget Processor Application Engine process (FS_BP)	The AR_UPDATE2 process calls the Budget Processor by way of the Revenue Estimate process to budget check the source transactions that the Revenue Estimate process created and creates the budget lines. The process uses the default source transaction type that you assigned to the business unit.
(Optional) Journal Generator (FS_JGEN)	The AR_UPDATE2 process calls the Journal Generator to create the journal lines for the general ledger if you enable the option to run it when you create the run control for the Receivables Update process.
