The Revenue Estimate Application Engine Process

The Revenue Estimate process uses the revenue accounting lines in the Item Distribution (PS_ITEM_DST) table to generate the source transactions for the control budget ledger. It generates one source transaction for each revenue line. If the activity does not generate a revenue line, the Revenue Estimate process searches the preceding activity for a revenue account and follows these rules:

• If the activity is a Create a Debit Memo (IT-01), Create a Credit Memo (IT-02), or Create an Overdue Charge (FC-01) activity, the process uses the revenue account for that activity.

  If it cannot find a revenue account, then the transaction causes an error. Enter the revenue account manually on the Revenue Estimate Correction page.

• If the activity is a Transfer Item to Customer (TR-02) activity and the item was transferred to a customer in the same business unit, the process uses the revenue account of the from item.

• If the item is system-generated (for example, an underpayment or an overpayment), then no revenue account exists and the process does not generate a source transaction.

  When you create the write-off for an underpayment or overpayment, the system updates the revenue buckets.
