General Ledger Accounting

For general ledger accounting, the transaction amount of each accounting record is created for the total amount of the cash letter, unless commingled accounting is in effect. For more information, see Commingled Accounting. The general ledger table is accessed using the collection type from the cash letter and the customer type from the endpoint. If a record is found, the accounting transaction code, journal entry number, cost center work unit code, and cost center work unit line are retrieved and used to set the corresponding fields within the accounting record. If no record is found, the default transaction code associated with the outbound product is used, no journal entry number is assigned, and the default cost center work unit code and line numbers are used. This ensures an accounting record is created, while the default cost center work unit codes and lines ensure some data is shown on the settlement reports.
