It is important to understand the criteria for transferring general ledger entries to cost entries. During the transfer, the Resource Statistics batch job uses the following criteria to determine if and how the general ledger entries are transferred.
General ledger entries are transferred if:
-
The entries have dimension values corresponding to either a cost center or a cost object.
-
The entries have dimension values that correspond to a cost center and a cost object. For these entries, the cost center takes precedence. This helps avoid a situation where a cost type appears in both a cost object and a cost center and is therefore counted twice in the statistics.
-
The document number in the entries is empty, so it will appear with a document number of 0000 in the cost entries.
-
The entries are transferred to a cost type that allows for combined entries and these entries are transferred as a combined entry either monthly or daily.
General ledger entries are not transferred if:
-
The entries have dimension values that do not correspond to a cost center or a cost object.
-
The entries have an amount of zero.
-
The entries have a general ledger account that has been deleted.
-
The entries have a general ledger account that is not of the type Income Statement.
-
The entries have a general ledger account that is not assigned a cost type.
-
The entries have a posting date before the Starting Date for G/L Transfer.
-
The entries have been posted with a closing date. These are typically entries that set back the balance of the income statement at the end of the year.
