Monthly Accruals Generation

Overview

This entity is to allow the execution of the Monthly Accruals Generation in batch, according to the schedule (frequency, date, time) specified under the Scheduler tool. On a monthly basis, the authorized user generates the organization’s accruals which records the information in the expenditures window for all specified assignment records. An entry is created for the selected fiscal period as well as the corresponding reversal entry in the subsequent fiscal period. These transactions will be captured in two separate files, one for each fiscal period and will appear under Human Capital ► Payroll and Financial ► Monthly Accruals Generation ► Monthly Accruals Export window. The authorized users generate the transactions at the end of each month. These entries are subsequently transferred to the general ledger for posting in their respective fiscal period.

The accruals functionality was configured using the organization’s business rules in order to accrue on the appropriate information that is required in the departmental monthly trial balance for reporting to the government authorities.
