Managing Accounting Events

Each delivered accounting event represents a specific type of agency transaction for which accounting entries are required. An accounting event definition specifies the source transaction table and the conditional fields that the Generate Accounting process uses to determine which accounting rule to apply.

You can view, enable, and disable accounting events on the Accounting Event page.

You also select one of the following accounting options: for Public Sector Accounting or Financials Cloud Subledger Accounting. Accounting options must be set up in FSM Accounting Framework Options. For more information, see Selecting an Accounting Framework.

Delivered Accounting Events

The accounting events your agency enables depend on several factors, including the accounting option and whether you need accounting for Code Enforcement in addition to Permits and Planning and Zoning.

The PSCR accounting event LNPFeePaid will be deprecated and no longer available for use beginning with the 22D release. This event has been replaced by the following events beginning in 22A (for customers using the PSCR Accounting Framework) or 22B (for customers using Financials Cloud Subledger Accounting):

  • Payments

  • PaymentRefunds

You will need transition to these new events before upgrading to 22D. For more information about how to move to the new accounting events see Doc ID 2851069.1 in My Oracle Support.

Viewing Accounting Events

  1. Select Accounting Setup > Accounting Event.

  2. Click a row on the Accounting Event page to review the fields for an accounting event.

  3. Select an accounting option. Available options depend on the accounting event and agency accounting implementation:

    • Not Enabled

    • Public Sector Accounting

    • Financials Cloud Subledger Accounting

    Note: You can only enable the Payments and PaymentRefunds events if the LNPFeePaid event is not enabled to avoid double accounting. We highly recommend enabling the Payments and PaymentRefunds events and disabling the LNPFeePaid beginning with the 22A release.
