Developing Interfaces for Customers and Pending Items

This chapter provides an overview of customer data integration and discusses how to receive information from a billing system.

Understanding Customer Data Integration

The Receivables system relies on a family of tables that contain customer information to enable customer-related processing. This customer information usually resides in one or many systems that are maintained outside of the receivables processing area.

To transfer customer information from billing systems, order management systems, or customer databases, you must write an interface program or use a utility to populate the PeopleSoft customer tables with information.

You enter customer information only for the tableSets that you use. You do not need to add any information to customer tables that are keyed by business unit. The Receivable Update Application Engine process (ARUPDATE) creates or updates rows in these tables.

Of the tables that are listed below, which are keyed by setID, three are required, four are conditionally required, and the rest are optional. Required means that you must place a row in the table with correct default values, even if you will not use any of the fields on these tables. The system uses rows in the required tables to access information online and for background processing.

Table Name	Required/Optional	Type of Information
PS_CUSTOMER	Required.	Customer header.
PS_CUST_VAT_REG	Required for value-added tax (VAT) customers.	Customer VAT.
PS_CUST_ADDR_SEQ	Required.	Customer address header.
PS_CUST_REGN_TYPE	Optional.	Customer region code types.
PS_CUST_ADDRESS	Required.	Customer address detail.
PS_CUST_CNTCT_SEQ	Optional.	Customer contact header.
PS_CUST_CONTACT	Optional.	Customer contact detail.
PS_CUST_CNTCT_TYPE	Optional.	Contact type.
PS_CUST_CNTCT_DOC	Optional	Contact document.
PS_CUST_CNTCT_CARD	Optional.	Contact credit card.
PS_CUST_CNTCT_PHN	Optional.	Contact phone.
PS_CUST_CREDIT	Optional	Customer credit.
PS_CUST_OPTION	Required for bill to customers.	Bill to customer options.
PS_CUST_SHIPTO_OPT	Required for ship to customers.	Ship to customer options.
PS_CUST_SOLDTO_OPT	Required for sold to customers.	Sold to customer options.
PS_CUST_BILLTO	Optional.	Valid bill to relationships.
PS_CUST_SHIPTO	Optional.	Valid ship to relationships.
PS_CUST_CRSPD	Optional.	Customer correspondence.

Receiving Information From a Billing System

The section provides an overview of Receivables Pending Item tables, interface tables, and accounting entry creation; and discusses how to:

Populate group control table fields.
Populate pending item table fields.
Populate user-defined fields.
Populate pending VAT table fields.
(INR) Populate pending tax table fields for India.
Prevent distribution of accounting entries for external groups.
Create accounting entries for external groups.
Troubleshoot missing accounting entries.
Troubleshoot Receivable Update error messages.

Understanding Receivables Pending Item Tables

Receivables accepts information from an unlimited number of billing systems. The relational structure of tables is flattened to contain posted data to simplify the interface process for converting existing items or bringing in billing information.

At a minimum, the interface program or utility must populate two tables:

PS_GROUP_CONTROL
PS_PENDING_ITEM

If you use the system for VAT processing, the system populates an additional table, PS_PENDING_VAT, with VAT data.

If you use the system for excise duty and sales taxes in India, the system populates additional tables: PS_PENDING_TAX and PS_PENDING_TAX_DTL.

If you create accounting entries during the Receivable Update process, the system creates rows in a sixth table, PS_PENDING_DST. Under certain circumstances and with certain limitations, you may also need to populate PS_PENDING_DST in your interface.

Because the PS/Import utility runs only on the client and has limited processing capability, write an interface program or use a tool such as Structured Query Report (SQR) to populate the interface tables. As another alternative, use the DC_PENDITEM_CI component interface to populate the pending item tables.

Understanding Interface Tables

The Receivable Update process uses the information contained in the pending data tables to create and update rows in the tables that contain posted data:

Pending Data Tables Include	Posted Data Tables Include
PS_GROUP_CONTROL	PS_CUST_DATA
PS_PENDING_ITEM	PS_CUST_HISTORY
PS_PENDING_VAT	PS_SUBCUST_DATA
PS_PENDING_TAX	PS_ITEM_ACTTAX
PS_PENDING_TAX_DTL	PS_ITEM_ACTTAX_DTL
PS_PENDING_DST	PS_SUBCUST_HISTORY
	PS_ITEM
	PS_ITEM_ACTIVITY
	PS_ITEM_ACT_VAT
	PS_ITEM_DST

Use these tables for interfacing from a billing system on an ongoing basis for conversion and for online and background processing within Receivables. They provide a single point of processing for the Receivable Update process.

Just as you populate PS_GROUP_CONTROL, PS_PENDING_ITEM, and possibly PS_PENDING_VAT, PS_PENDING_DST, PS_PENDING_TAX, or PS_PENDING_TAX_DTL, the Receivables processes populate these tables as a result of group item entry, overdue charge processing, activity from the payment, maintenance, transfer worksheets, unpost processing, draft processing; direct debit processing, the Automatic Maintenance Application Engine process (AR_AUTOMNT), and the Payment Predictor Application Engine process (ARPREDCT).

We define the groups that you create for billing interface or conversion purposes as external groups, and they receive more extensive editing during the Receivable Update process. When you enter groups online during group item entry, the system performs online edits that reduce the editing that is needed during the Receivable Update process. PeopleSoft categorizes the third kind of group (created by the system through the worksheet, overdue charge, unpost, draft, direct debit, item splits, and the Automatic Maintenance and Payment Predictor processes) as system-defined groups with a required origin of PS_AR. These system-defined groups receive the least amount of editing during the Receivable Update process.

Understanding Accounting Entry Creation

You create accounting entries for several types of transactions:

Transaction Type	What the System Does
Group item entry	In the group item entry environment, the system enables the recording of an unlimited number of accounts receivable debit or credit entries and an unlimited number of offsetting entries of the opposite sign. The system also creates entries to VAT liability accounts if you use VAT processing. The system also creates accounting entries for India taxes if you enter the items in Receivables or if your billing system does not generate the accounting entries.
Worksheets	In the payment worksheet, in addition to cash and accounts receivable, the system creates entries to VAT liability accounts if you use VAT processing with a payment declaration point. The system also allows an unlimited number of debit entries for write-off activity. The system calculates realized gain or loss entries in a multicurrency application. It creates interunit and intraunit entries when needed. In the maintenance worksheet, the system records entries to accounts receivable and allows an unlimited number of debit entries for write-off activity. The system calculates realized gain or loss entries in a multicurrency application. It creates interunit and intraunit entries when needed. The system also creates entries to VAT liability accounts when appropriate if you use VAT processing with a payment declaration point. In the transfer worksheet, the system creates accounting entries when transferring items. It creates interunit and intraunit entries when needed.
Unpost	The unpost process reverses entries that are originally recorded. It does not require use of the Pending Group Generator Application Engine process (AR_PGG_SERV).

You can create accounting entries in background processing. In the production environment, this is the normal way to create the entries. In addition, the Pending Group Generator process creates accounting entries for external groups (if the interface does not populate the Pending Distribution table (PS_PENDING_DST) and also creates the accounting entries that result from the draft, direct debit, overdue charge processing, the Automatic Maintenance process, and the Payment Predictor process.

When the Pending Group Generator process creates accounting entries for external groups, it uses the Item Entry Type Accounting templates that you establish for entry types.

Note. The only way to create accounting entries that post without operator intervention—apart from populating PS_PENDING_DST directly in the interface—is to have only two lines on the accounting template, specified for use as a balanced entry.

Determining Your Accounting Entry Approach

You need to make several decisions about how you use the accounting entry capabilities of Receivables, including:

How your billing system and Receivables work together or separately to send accounting entries to your general ledger system.
Whether you create accounting entries for pending items that are interfaced from your billing system directly in your billing interface program or enable Receivables to create them for you.
How you provide accounting entry information for items that you convert from your existing system.

Your decisions are also influenced by whether you need to use more than one accounts receivable (AR) line for each pending item.

Background Processing Flow

If you use the Pending Group Generator process to create accounting entries for external groups, you must provide values in more fields on PS_PENDING_ITEM than if the interface populates PS_PENDING_DST directly. The process runs before the posting step of Receivable Update, so defaults that the Receivable Update processes supply are not available at the time that the process creates the accounting entries. The same is true for converting or interfacing in a multicurrency environment; you must populate additional multicurrency fields if you create accounting entries during the Receivable Update process.

The interface tables that follow indicate which fields on PS_PENDING_ITEM must have values for the Pending Group Generator process to create accounting entries.

Populating Group Control Table Fields

The PS_GROUP_CONTROL table contains one row for each group that you enter into the system for billing interface or conversion purposes. We use the term group to mean a collection or batch of pending items that the billing system or conversion program produces and that Receivables groups for control or processing purposes.

Some billing systems produce one group for each day. Other systems produce separate groups for debit memos, credit memos, or certain kinds of invoices. During conversion, you decide how many groups to create to bring in the activity that records open and closed items. Receivables can receive an unlimited number of groups of various entry types and sizes.

Your interface or conversion program populates the group control table with external billing group information. The following table lists the appropriate values, along with the associated column name, for each field on PS_GROUP_CONTROL.

The table specifies a field type for each field. Use the field type to determine how to populate system-maintained fields and optional fields that you want to leave blank. To leave a field blank, supply a space for character fields, a null value or nothing for date fields, and a zero for numeric fields.

Note. Use Application Designer to review the characteristics of each field in more detail.

Column	Field Name	Field Type	Option/ Condition/ Required	Field Description
1	GROUP_BU	Character	Required	You must associate each group with a Receivables business unit.
2	GROUP_ID	Character	Required	Each group must have a group identifier.
3	OPRID	Character	Optional	User ID of the person who entered the group. This is used on group inquiry and processing pages.
4	ASSN_OPRID	Character	Optional	User ID of the person who is responsible for processing the group. This is used on group inquiry and processing pages.
5	BUSINESS_UNIT	Character	Optional	Set the value to be the same as GROUP_BU.
6	GROUP_TYPE	Character	Required	Select the value that you establish on the Group Type table for this type of group. Do not use D, F, M, P, T, or U. Draft, overdue charge, maintenance, payment, transfer, and Unpost groups use these values. Also do not use C or R, because the Claim Settlement Process for AR process (PO_CLMSTL_AR) uses these values for claim items entered in Purchasing or Order Management.
7	BAL_STATUS	Character	Required	Set to N (out of balance), the default value for this field. The Receivable Update process automatically balances all external groups and sets the value to I (in balance) during initial processing, provided that the entered amount and count that it calculates are equal to the control amount and count that you provide.
8	EDIT_STATUS	Character	Required	Indicates whether or not the group has been edited. Groups entered online, for example, are E because less editing occurs during the Receivable Update process for these groups. Set to N (not edited) for external groups.
9	POST_STATUS	Character	Required	Indicates whether the group is fully posted, not posted, or has errors that prevented some items from the Receivable Update process. Set to N (not posted).
10	POST_ACTION	Character	Required	Indicates if the group is automatically set to be processed by the Receivable Update process. Set to A (no action) if you want to review the contents online before the Receivable Update process. A is the default for online processing. Set to L (batch standard) to post during the next Receivable Update process run process run.
11	CONTROL_AMT	Number	Optional	Enter the control amount in this field. The control amount is the total amount of all items that are in the group in the entry currency of each item. For mixed currencies, this becomes a hash total. (If the group has two items, 10.00 EUR and 10.00 USD, CONTROL_ AMOUNT is 20.00.) To require a single currency for each group, see CONTROL_ CURRENCY.
12	CONTROL_CNT	Number	Required	The count of items in the group. Enter the control count in this field.
13	ENTERED_AMT	Number	Optional	When the Receivable Update process balances the group, the system updates this field with the total monetary amount of all pending items. Because the system calculates this value for you, enter 0.
14	ENTERED_CNT	Number	Optional	When the Receivable Update process balances the group, this field is updated with the count of all pending items. Online groups have a default of 1. Because the system calculates this value for you, enter 0.
15	POSTED_TOTAL	Number	Optional	Updated by the Receivable Update process with the total entered amount of all pending items in the group that are posted. Because the system calculates this value for you, enter 0.
16	POSTED_COUNT	Number	Optional	Updated by the Receivable Update process with the total count of all pending items in the group that are posted. Because the system calculates this value for you, enter 0.
17	GROUP_SEQ_NUM	Number	Optional	Used by the system to assign sequence numbers for certain kinds of groups. Because the system calculates this value for you, enter 0.
18	ORIGIN_ID	Character	Required	Enter an origin ID to represent where the group came from. Select a value from the origin IDs that you define for use as external billing origins on the PS_ORIGIN_TBL. To qualify, the origin type must be Billing, and the origin method must be External.
19	RECEIVED_DT	Date	Required	The date that Receivables receives the group. From an interface or conversion perspective, RECEIVED_DT and ENTRY_DT are probably the same.
20	ENTRY_DT	Date	Required	The date that you enter the group into Receivables. From an interface or conversion perspective, RECEIVED_DT and ENTRY_DT are probably the same.
21	POST_DT	Date	Optional	Updated by the Receivable Update process with the most recent date that the group was posted. Because the system calculates this value for you, set the value to null.
22	ACCOUNTING_DT	Date	Required	The accounting date that applies to the group. The Receivable Update process uses this date to determine if the group falls within the date range that is on the Receivable Update process request.
23	PROCESS_INSTANCE	Number	Optional	Updated by the Receivable Update process with the process instance that is used for a given execution of the process. Because the system calculates this value for you, enter 0.
24	DST_BAL_STATUS	Character	Required	Used and updated by the Pending Group Generator. If you provide your own PS_PENDING_DST rows, set to I (in balance). Otherwise, set to O (out of balance).
25	GROUP_ID_ORIG	Character	Optional	Used when you unpost a group during online processing.
26	DEPOSIT_BU	Character	Optional	Used when a payment worksheet or Payment Predictor creates the group.
27	DEPOSIT_ID	Character	Optional	Used when a payment worksheet or Payment Predictor creates the group.
28	PAYMENT_SEQ_NUM	Number	Optional	Used when a payment worksheet or Payment Predictor creates the group.
29	PAYMENT_ID	Character	Optional	Used when a payment worksheet or Payment Predictor creates the group.
30	PAYMENT_CURRENCY	Character	Optional	Used when a payment worksheet or Payment Predictor creates the group.
31	PYMT_RT_TYPE	Character	Optional	Used when a payment worksheet or Payment Predictor creates the group.

33	PYMT_RATE_DIV	Number	Optional	Used when a payment worksheet or Payment Predictor creates the group.
34	CONTROL_CURRENCY	Character	Optional	If this field contains a value, all pending items in the group must have this currency as their entry currency. Select from the values on PS_CURRENCY_CD_TBL. If you enter a space, the pending items in the group may contain more than one entry currency.
35	FORMAT CURRENCY	Character	Required	Enter the currency code that controls the precision for this group's amount totals. Select from values on PS_CURRENCY_CD_TBL. If you provide a value for CONTROL_CURRENCY, use the same value here.
36	PAYMENT_AMT	Number	Optional	Used when the group is created by a payment worksheet or by Payment Predictor.
37	ALLOW_DST	Character	Required	Tells the Pending Group Generator how to set the GL_DISTRIB_STATUS field for the PENDING_DST rows that it creates for this group. Set to Y to distribute the accounting entries to general ledger. This sets GL_DISTRIB_STATUS = N. Set to N to prevent accounting entries from being distributed to general ledger. This sets GL_DISTRIB_STATUS = I.
38	CREATE_DST_BATCH	Character	Optional	This field is no longer used.
39	CASH_CNTRL_USE	Character	Optional	Used when a payment worksheet or Payment Predictor creates the group.
40	BANK_SETID	Character	Optional	Used when a payment worksheet or Payment Predictor creates the group.

45	OPRID_APPROVED_BY	Character	Optional	User ID of the person that set the worksheet to post.

Populating Pending Item Table Fields

The PS_PENDING_ITEM table is a child of the PS_GROUP_CONTROL table and contains one record for each transaction that you add to the system. A pending item may represent any kind of invoice, debit memo, credit memo, or adjustment. During conversion, or in a very specialized payment interface application, a pending item may also represent a payment.

The following table lists the appropriate values for each field on PS_PENDING_ITEM. Many of the fields are optional, and some are used only by the system processes.

The table specifies a field type for each field. Use the field type to determine how to populate system-maintained fields and optional fields that you want to leave blank. Supply a space for character fields, a null value for date fields, and a zero for numeric fields.

Note. Use Application Designer to review the characteristics of each field in more detail.

Column	Field Name	Field Type	Option/ Condition/ Required	Field Description
1	GROUP_BU	Character	Required	Use the same value as the GROUP_ BU on PS_GROUP_CONTROL.
2	GROUP_ID	Character	Required	Use the same value as the GROUP_ID on PS_GROUP_CONTROL.
3	BUSINESS_UNIT	Character	Required	The business unit that is associated with the customer account to which you post the pending item. It may be the same as, or different from, GROUP_BU.
4	CUST_ID	Character	Required	The customer identifier.
5	ITEM	Character	Required	The item identifier.
6	ITEM_LINE	Number	Optional	You may bring entries into Receivables at a line-item level of detail.
7	GROUP_SEQ_NUM	Number	Optional	If you bring in more than one row for a single BUSINESS_UNIT, CUST_ID, ITEM, and ITEM_LINE combination, you must populate this field; otherwise, enter 0. An example of why you would bring in more than one row for a single item (BUSINESS_UNIT, CUST_ID, ITEM and ITEM_LINE combination) is that your billing system or conversion program is sending an invoice and credit memo for a single item that is in the same group. You have two options for populating this field: Assign a unique number to each pending item in the group. This is what Receivables does for online group item entry. Assign a value only for pending items that are repeated in the group, and place a zero in the field for pending items that are not repeated in the group.
8	ENTRY_TYPE	Character	Required	Describes the type of item that is being processed. Select from the entry types that you establish on the PS_ENTRY_ TYPE_TBL that are enabled for the IT-01 or IT-02 system functions.
9	ENTRY_REASON	Character	Optional	An optional entry reason to further qualify the entry type. You can set up entry types in the system to require entry reasons. Select from the entry reasons that you establish on the PS_ENTRY_ REASN_TBL that are enabled for the IT-01 or IT-02 system functions.
10	ENTRY_AMT	Number	Required	The amount of the entry, in the entry currency. This amount cannot be zero.
11	ENTRY_EVENT	Character	Optional	The code that the federal government uses to post pro-forma accounting information. The Entry Event Generator generates supplemental accounting lines if you enter this code.
12	ACCOUNTING_DT	Date	Required	The date that determines the processing period for the Receivable Update process and accounting entries.
13	ASOF_DT	Date	Required	An optional date for use in conversion or ongoing interface. Payment terms and aging calculations may be based on the value that is in this field. Use the same value as the ACCOUNTING_DT if you do not supply a separate value.
14	POST_DT	Date	Optional	The Receivable Update process updates this date.
15	DUE_DT	Date	Optional	The due date of the item. Every pending item must have a due date or a payment terms code. For pending items that may represent subsequent activity against an original invoice, such as a credit memo, the due date field is not used in processing. However, it must have a value.
16	CR_ANALYST	Character	Optional	An assignment of this pending item to a credit analyst. Select from the values that you establish on the PS_CR_ANALYST_ TBL or enter a space. If you enter a space, the Receivable Update process adds the default value from PS_CUSTOMER.
17	SALES_PERSON	Character	Optional	An assignment of this item to a team member. Select from the values that you establish on the PS_TEAM_MEMBERS, or enter a space. If you enter a space, the Receivable Update process adds the default value from PS_CUSTOMER.

26	POSTED_FLAG	Character	Required	Set to N (not posted). The Receivable Update process maintains this field.
27	PYMNT_TERMS_CD	Character	Optional	A due date or payment terms code. Select from the values that you establish on PS_PAY_TRMS_TBL for accounts receivable. If you do not supply a value, enter a space. If you enter a space and do not provide a due date, the Receivable Update process uses the default that you establish for the customer or business unit options.
28	DISC_AMT	Number	Optional	First discount amount that is available if the payment accounting date is on or before the discount date. You may enter this or let the payment terms module calculate it. You cannot have a discount amount if you entered a payment terms code. Enter a value only if you are also entering the due date. A value is required if you have supplied the discount date.
29	DISC_AMT1	Number	Optional	Second discount amount that is available if payment accounting date is on or before the discount date. You may enter this or let the payment terms module calculate it.

34	ALLOW_DISC	Character	Required	Set value to Y if you want the system to consider all discounts for this pending item as earned even if they are expired. N enables normal discount processing. This field is useful for handling special invoice situations or, during conversion, to indicate that special instructions are already recorded. The Application Designer default for online processing is N.
35	DST_ID_AR	Character	Optional	If you populate PS_PENDING_DST in your billing interface, enter a space. If you plan to generate accounting entries during the Receivable Update process, you must supply a value. Select from the values that you define for accounts receivable on the PS_DST_CODE_TBL.
36	DUN_DT	Date	Optional	The Dunning Application Engine process (AR_DUNNING) maintains this date.
37	ST_DT	Date	Optional	The Statements Application Engine process (AR_STMTS) maintains this date.
38	FC_DT	Date	Optional	The Overdue Charge Application Engine process (AR_OVRDUE) maintains this date.

46	ENTRY_USE_ID	Character	Optional	A system-defined field that determines the type of processing that is associated with an entry type. Set to IT-01 (Create an Invoice/Debit Memo) for a positive amount. Set to IT-02 (Create a Credit Memo) for a negative amount. Make sure that you correctly match the entry types with the system function that represents the sign of the amount on the pending item.
47	DST_BAL_ITEM	Character	Required	Indicates if the accounting entries for the item are in balance. Set to O unless you provide your own PS_PENDING_ DST rows. If you provide your own rows, set this value to I. The Receivable Update process does not balance accounting entries that are supplied by an interface.
48	COLLECTION_STATUS	Character	Optional	Indicates if the item is in collection. Select from the values that you establish on the PS_COLLECTION_TBL. This field may be used during conversion when the existing system marks items in this manner.
49	COLLECTION_DT	Date	Optional	The date that is associated with collection status.
50	BILL_OF_LADING	Character	Optional	A bill of lading for the item.
51	SUBCUST_QUAL1	Character	Optional	The first SubCustomer field for the item (if required). Select from the values that you establish on the PS_SUBCUST_ Q1_TBL.
52	SUBCUST_QUAL2	Character	Optional	The second SubCustomer field for the item (if required). Select from the values that you establish on PS_SUBCUST_ Q2_TBL.

56	RATE_DIV	Number	Optional	Required if the entry currency is different from the business unit base currency.
57	PAYMENT_AMT	Number	Optional	Enter 0.
58	PAYMENT_CURRENCY	Character	Optional	Enter a space.
59	ENTRY_AMT_BASE	Number	Optional	The amount of the pending item that is denominated in the business unit base currency. If you populate this field, the assumption is that you have performed currency conversion. You should place a value in the field that is equal to ENTRY_AMT multiplied by RATE_DIV and RATE_MULT. You must also provide values in the RATE_DIV and RATE_MULT fields. If you are populating PS_PENDING_DST in your interface, you may put a zero in this field. The Receivable Update computes ENTRY_AMT_BASE by using ENTRY_AMT, RATE_DIV, and RATE_MULT. If you create accounting entries during the Receivable Update process, you must supply a value for this field. In other words, you must perform currency conversion before or while populating PS_PENDING_ITEM to create accounting entries during the Receivable Update process.
60	CURRENCY_CD	Character	Required	The base currency of the business unit that is associated with the item. Be sure that this matches the value that you establish on the General Ledger business unit that corresponds to the Accounts Receivable business unit.

68	VAT_DCLRTN_POINT	Character	Optional	Enter a declaration point of either Payment or Invoice.
69	VAT_RECALC_FLG	Character	Optional	Check this field only if the VAT calculation type is Gross. If it is checked, the system recalculates the VAT discount amount at the payment time.
70	VAT_BASIS_AMT	Number	Optional	Sales amount that the system uses to calculate the VAT amount.
71	VAT_BASIS_AMT_BASE	Number	Optional	Contains the VAT basis amount in the business unit base currency.

Types of User-Defined Fields

This tables describes the types of user-defined fields.

Type	Description
Amounts	The USER_AMT fields have a cumulative effect on PS_ITEM. When the Receivable Update process finds a value in any of the user amount fields on PS_PENDING_ITEM, it places that value in the same field on the corresponding PS_ITEM_ACTIVITY row. It also updates the corresponding user amount field arithmetically on PS_ITEM.
Dates	The system places all USER_DT fields on the corresponding ITEM_ACTIVITY record. However, USER_DT1 and USER_DT2 update PS_ITEM only if the value on PS_ITEM is NULL. USER_DT3 and USER_DT4 update PS_ITEM whenever the value on PS_PENDING_ITEM is not NULL.
Characters	The USER1 through USER10 fields overlay an existing value if the PS_PENDING_ITEM value is not cleared, regardless of the update entry field. Only fields with values are moved. If USER1 is not cleared on the item, its value can remain and a pending item can affect USER2, leaving intact the value of USER1.

Preventing Distribution of Accounting Entries for External Groups

Receivables supports multiple AR lines for each pending item, so we base all subsequent accounting entries that affect the Receivables accounts on the AR lines existing on the Item Distribution table (PS_ITEM_DST).

Although you may choose not to distribute accounting information for billing transactions from Receivables to the general ledger system, you must have at least one row in PS_ITEM_DST that represents the AR line. If you indicate that you do not want to have transactions with this entry type distributed to General Ledger, the system sets the GL_DISTRIB_ STATUS field on PS_PENDING_DST to I (ignore). This instructs the Journal Generator Application Engine process (FS_JGEN) to skip this row when it creates journal entries.

When you convert existing items or interface them from your billing system, you may want to prevent distribution of accounting entries for a specific entry type even though you want to enable distribution when you record the entry online. Use the ALLOW_DST flag on PS_GROUP_CONTROL for this purpose.

Creating Accounting Entries for External Groups

You may choose to populate the PS_PENDING_DST table directly through your interface program, even though this approach is considered an exception within the system's accounting entries architecture.

The following table describes the fields on PS_PENDING_DST. The table specifies a field type for each field. Use the field type to determine how to populate system-maintained fields and optional fields that you want to leave blank. Supply a space for character fields, a null value for date fields, and a zero for numeric fields.

Troubleshooting Missing Accounting Entries

When the Receivable Update process finds errors, the process updates the AR_ERROR_CD field on the PENDING_ITEM table with an error code.

If you create accounting entries during the Receivable Update process, the process creates and balances the accounting entries before editing further. If the process does not create the accounting entries, or they are incorrect, the AR_ERROR_CD field contains a value of ACTOB.

If you receive this error code, follow these troubleshooting steps:

Attempt to create the accounting entries online by bringing up one of the pending items that is in error (Accounts Receivable, Receivables Updates, Correct Posting Errors, External Items).
Select a pending item with out-of-balance accounting entries.
On the Accounting Entry page, click the Create button.

If the accounting entries do not appear, the accounting entry setup is incomplete or in error, and you should receive an error message from the online system.

If the accounting entries appear, then your billing or conversion interface setup is incomplete or incorrect. Check the interface to verify that the following field values are correct before the group is posted:
- PENDING_ITEM.DST_BAL_ITEM should be set to O.
- Make sure that the following fields on PENDING_ITEM have values: RATE_DIV, RATE_MULT, ENTRY_AMT_BASE, DST_ID_AR.

Troubleshooting Receivable Update Error Messages

Once accounting entries are correct and balanced, the Receivable Update process continues with two types of edits. The Receivable Update process edits the PS_PENDING_ITEM table through a series of editing updates and then through specific program logic.
