Receivables Transactions
All cash-related Receivables transactions are collected based on the Local Use segment qualifier in the chart of accounts.
These rules apply to Receivables transactions:
-
For unapplied or unidentified cash receipts, obtain the default cash flow segment from the receipt method.
-
For applied cash receipts, use the accounting rule to override the cash flow segment from the receivable account in transactions.
-
For bank charges, gain or loss, and discounted accounts, use the accounting rule to override the cash flow segment from the receivable account in transactions.
-
For miscellaneous receipts, obtain the default cash flow segment from the receivable activity account.
-
For receivable transactions, all the accounting lines must have the cash flow segment obtained from the definition of the transaction type by automatic accounting.
This table shows you the cash flow segment source for each accounting class. You must define the cash flow segment source correctly so that you generate an accurate cash flow statement.
