The A/R and A/P segmentation routines provide reports where it is possible to simulate and analyse the segmentation of each open item, segmentation summary and G/L transactions. G/L transactions can optionally be either manually entered or automatically updated to G/L, with or without elimination transactions.
The original open documents and control accounts will remain unchanged. G/L transactions for Control account reversal and segmentation will be accounted on “parallel” accounts via two pseudo accounts, one for A/P and one for A/R.
The segmentation can be run in the following two modes:
- Simulation mode (G/L update is set to NO). In simulation mode a segmentation report is printed, but no files are updated. It is, therefore, recommended that you run the segmentation in this mode first.
- Update mode (G/L update is set to YES). In update mode the report is printed and the General Ledger is updated. You can also choose to eliminate the G/L accountings that are created during the segmentation.
During the segmentation, G/L postings are created to reverse the open document amounts booked on the control accounts and to segment that same amount.
The control accounts’ main account is substituted by the main account of the XIFRSCR pseudo account. Other account parts are copied from the control account. One G/L posting is created for each affected control account string combination.
The total reversed amount is booked on the XIFRCS pseudo account and the defined segments, apportioned in accordance with the A/P documents’ G/L postings. One G/L posting is created for each affected segment combination.
Note: Amounts booked on the control accounts themselves are not changed in any way.
The segmentation report that is printed includes the following information:
- The details of all included documents (if Print details is set to YES)
- The segmentation summary
- The created G/L transactions
