Internal GL Posting

The Join functions in this section are used to prepare and collect data needed for the Remote Function Adapter Finance General Ledger Items, which then sends the data to the SAP system to create FI items.

The following functions are available:

Prepare Sender Cost Center/Receiver Cost Center GL Entries

This Join function prepares the input function for the RFA FI GL postings in a specific process. After the allocation between different cost centers, the debit/credit line items are prepared for posting.

On the debit side of the posting, the system adds the Posting Type field.

The system derives the document date and posting date automatically from the Period/Year field.

Post Sender Cost Center/Receiver Cost Center GL Entries

This Remote Function Adapter function posts the items in SAP systems, using the input table prepared in the previous step. For more information about this function, see Post Sender Cost Center/Receiver Cost Center GL Entries.

Pre-Prepare Sender Cost Center/Receiver GL Entries [COPA]

Based on the result of the Allocate Activities to Materials/Customers function, the debit and credit side of the postings is prepared.

The function also prepares the entries for a specific posting structure that is used to post the entries to SAP COPA.

The Join function (lookup and union all) prepares the input function for the RFA GL postings in following way:

  • Debit side (sender side)

    Results from the Allocate Activities to Materials/Customers function with calculation of the amount by multiplying it by (–1) and derivation of Document Date and/or Posting Date based on the Period/Year.

  • Credit side (receiver side)

    • Results from the Allocate Activities to Materials/Customers function

    • Lookup with the Postings Worklist is used to establish receiver objects fields (receiver cost center/RFC destination/clearing accounts/text) set in the document header

    • Lookup with the Activity to GL Accounts Worklist is used to derive the debiting GL accounts, which need to be equal to the calculated activities

Create COPA Line Items

This transfer structure is used to prepare data for the GL posting RFA to post to SAP COPA.

The input table needs to be de pivoted to get the structure needed in RFA.

Prepare Sender/Receiver GL Entries [COPA]

This Join function prepares the input function for the RFA FI GL postings for a specific process. It uses the mapping tables Activity to GL Accounts Worklist and Postings Worklist as well as the Document Date and Posting Date which are dynamically derived based on the Period/Year field.

Post Sender/Receiver GL Entries [COPA]

This Remote Function Adapter function posts the items in SAP systems, using the input table from the previous step. For more information about this function, see Post Sender/Receiver GL Entries [COPA].

Reference Document for FI Postings

This Join function derives the SAP FI document number created during the postings to write it back to the AP/AR document for a better traceability.
