ORACLE AR USER MANUAL
Accounts Receivable Module is the first data entry point for donor
invoices and related on account receipts.
General Rules
1. Errors, which are made in the accounts Receivable Module, will not be
corrected in General Ledger. However, the users will be warned by the
person responsible for posting in GL and the correct transaction will be
posted to GL again. Both the wrong and the correct entries will be posted in
GL.
2. The Automatic Revenue Recognition will be carried out as an additional
program designed and generated by MIS. On how to use that program,
please refer to the The Automatic Revenue Recognition User Manual, which is
going to be released in 2002.
3. Cash receipts from Micros will be directly integrated to GL module and
entered as a journal, without generating any invoices in AR. However, this
integration will be done in 2002.
4. One time customers will not be defined in AR module, unless they are not
operating on cash basis but not on payment terms. Related entries will be
direct journals in GL Module.

4.2. Posting Interfaces> 1. Navigate to the Run General Ledger Interface window.
Journals to General ledger 2. Choose the Posting Detail or Summary. Chose Detail in the
GL Posting Detail field. If you transfer transactions in detail, the
General Ledger Journal Import Program creates at least one journal
entry for each transaction in your posting submission. (If you
transfer in summary, it creates one journal entry for each general
ledger account)
3. Enter the GL Posted Date for this submission. The default is the
current date, but you can change it. Receivables updates all of the
posted transactions that you transfer to the general ledger interface
area with the GL posted date you enter.
4. Enter the range of GL Dates for your submission. The dates must
be within both an open receivables period and an open or future
General Ledger period. When you enter a start date, the default GL
end date is the last day of the period that you entered for the GL
start date.
5. Save your work. Receivables displays the Request ID number for
your concurrent process. Use this number to view the status of
your request in the Requests window.
6. Receivables also creates the Posting Execution Report. Use this
report to see a summary of transactions that are imported into the
GL_INTERFACE table. Transactions that failed validation appear
in the Unposted Items Report

5.7. Reconcile Run the Sales Journal and Receipt Journal for the same General
Account Ledger date range to see what will post to your General Ledger.
Balances Once you internally reconcile your transactions and receipts with
your Sales and Receipt Journals, you can perform external
reconciliation during and after the posting process.
Reconcile the General Ledger Transfer Process
1. General Ledger Interface produces an Execution report that
shows you the total Debits and Credits transferred from
Receivables to the General Ledger Interface table.
2. Compare this report to your Sales and Receipt Journal
Totals and Verify that they match. Be sure to use the same
General Ledger Date ranges for the two journals and your GL
transfer.
3. Receivables also produces the Unposted Items Report if
there are any items that cannot be transferred to the General
Ledger Interface table. You must take into account the total
Untransferred Items when Reconciling your Sales and
Receipt Journals with the GL Interface Execution report.
4. Once Transactions and Receipts have been transferred to the
General Ledger Interface table, they are considered
’Posted’ within the Receivables Sub–Ledger. Account
Balances for Transactions and Receipts can be reconciled by
Generating the Sales Journal by GL Account, the Receipt
Journal (in ’Transaction’ mode), and the Journal Entries
report for Posted Items. The account totals in the Sales and
Receipt Journals should match the corresponding account
balances in the Journal Entries report.
5. The Journal Entries report shows the Transaction and
Receipt Numbers that contribute to a Particular GL
Account.
6. Run this report using the Summary by Account parameter to
Review the Details that make up your general ledger journal
entries. This report selects all Transactions that will be
Posted to the General Ledger (i.e. associated transaction
