Creating Accounting Journals from Revenue Recognition Transactions

Both the RRT to Journal Integration and the RRT to Journal Integration for Cost features must be enabled before you can create Accounting journals from revenue recognition transactions.

To create Accounting journals from a single committed revenue recognition transaction, click Create Journal on the transaction's detail page. A message is displayed when the journal has been created.

To create Accounting journals from multiple committed revenue recognition transactions:

  1. Click the Revenue Recognition Transactions page.
  2. Choose a view from the drop-down list.
  3. Select the checkboxes for the transactions you want to create as journals. If you select a transaction that does not have the status "Committed" and a valid Grouped By value, or that is already linked to an Accounting journal, it is ignored.
  4. Click Create Journals.

The journals are created by a background process. You are emailed when the process finishes.

The journals are created with the status "In Progress".

Note:

If you create a journal for a revenue recognition transaction that you later discard, the journal is not reversed by the discard process. You must reverse the journal according to your own business processes.

Create Journals or Create Summarized Journals

If both Create Journals and Create Summarized Journals buttons are available, note that:

  • The Create Journals button creates journals from a revenue recognition transaction's lines.
  • The Create Summarized Journals button creates journals from a revenue recognition transaction's summaries.
