What is the recommended sequence for scheduling of receipt accounting processes?

The recommended sequence for scheduling the receipt accounting processes is:

  1. Incoming transactions:

    • Transfer Transactions from Receiving to Receipt Accounting process. Interfaces receipt transactions.

    • Transfer Costs from Payables to Cost Management process. Interfaces accounts payable transactions.

  2. Receipt accounting:

    • Receipt Accounting Distribution process.

    • Clear Receipt Accrual Balances process. Executes only if you have predefined accrual clearing rules. Marks purchase orders for automatic clearing.

    • Receipt Accounting Distribution process. Creates distributions for cleared accrual balances.

  3. Subledger accounting:

    • Create Accounting process.

  4. Reconciliation and reporting:

    • Match Receipt Accruals process. Matches purchase order receipt accruals with invoices from the payables application. Perform at period close or as needed for internal reporting and reconciliation.

      Note: You can also perform this step before running the subledger accounting process to know the approximate accrual amount for reconciliation.
    • Audit Receipt Accrual Clearing Balances process. Audit the General Ledger accounted accrual balances.
