Enabling the RT to Journal Integration for Cost

This Feature Console page extends the RT to Journal Integration to support cost amounts when creating Accounting journals from recognition transactions.

Separate journals are created for revenue and cost. If a recognition transaction has lines with both revenue and cost amounts, separate revenue and cost journals are created from it. Both journals are linked to the recognition transaction, and the journal line items link to the transaction lines.

Before enabling this integration, you must enable the following Feature Console features:

  1. Accounting - Journal Integration with Return Data. For details, see Enabling the Journal Integration with Return Data.
  2. Revenue Management - RT to Journal Integration. For details, see Enabling the RT to Journal Integration.

When the above features are enabled, you can enable the RT to Journal Integration for Cost. When enabling this feature, work through the steps in the order shown.

  • For each automatic step, click Perform. When the step has completed, the Status changes from “Not Done” to “Done”.
  • For each manual step, follow the instructions on screen then click Mark As Done when the step is complete. More information about performing the manual steps is provided below.

When you have completed all the steps, use the Status slider in the Feature section to enable the feature. If you have custom fields on your recognition transaction lines and you want to map their values to journal lines, add them to the CreateJournalFromCostRRT publication for the Journal.Create message type.

Manually Assign Permission Set to Users

This permission set grants access to create journals for both revenue and cost. Users must also be assigned the FDN Core and FDN Common Concepts permission sets.

You must also grant users Edit permissions for your source objects.
