Revenue Management Transaction Sweep

Sweep transactions with unresolved errors from a previous accounting period to the next accounting period. This helps progress period close while exceptions are resolved in the period into which the transactions are swept.

Enterprises review and resolve the invalid accounting transactions before the period close. When such a resolution only happens after the accounting period is closed, enterprises risk creating manual entries instead of these missing entries, causing a loss of data quality and adding to orphaned records in the system that require additional maintenance. Transaction sweep automates this process and avoid unnecessary maintenance while keeping the data quality and traceability intact.

The Sweep Receivables Transactions to Another Period process is now renamed Sweep Subledger Transactions to Another Period.  The enhanced process can sweep either Revenue Management or Receivables transactions to another period.

Use this process in conjunction with other period close processes, activities, and reports to close a Revenue Management accounting period.

The process identifies for the selected ledger the invalid transactions in a Close Pending accounting period that block the period close.  Invalid transactions include:

  • Invalid distributions
  • Unposted distributions
  • Unbalanced journal entries

You can optionally run the process in Review mode to first review the invalid transactions.  You can run the process in Sweep mode, with or without review, to sweep invalid transactions to another accounting period.
