Financial Publication

The RFM financial publication batches transform the prepared staging records into the financial integration publish format. The accounts payable publisher handles invoice headers and details; the general ledger publisher handles accounting entries.

Table 4-1 Financial Publication Mappings

RFM Staging Table	Publisher	Publish Table
RFM_AP_STAGE_HEAD	rfm_fif_ap_publish.ksh	FIF_AP_HEAD_PUBLISH
RFM_AP_STAGE_DETAIL	rfm_fif_ap_publish.ksh	FIF_AP_DETAIL_PUBLISH
RFM_FINANCIALS_STAGE	rfm_fif_gl_publish.ksh	FIF_GL_PUBLISH

Publication uses the applicable financial setup and external reference values. Accounts payable publication uses supplier or partner, payment terms, organizational unit and tax references, together with the accounting segment delimiter. General ledger publication uses the set-of-books mapping in FIF_GL_SETUP.

After successful publication, the processed staging data is retained in history and the integration control is updated. Accounts payable and general ledger publication completion are tracked separately. Review the relevant staging status and history when investigating an incomplete financial integration; the publisher recovery procedures are described in chapter 3.
