Revenue Expense Deferral ALTRN batch missing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

If we create a deferral entry through Transactions - Financial - Financial Deferral -  Deferral Document Entry a General Ledger Batch is created as expected.  We have setup to Not automatically post through to GL.  However, if we create a Purchasing Batch for Purchasing Invoice Entry, Auto Invoice a selected Purchase Order, drill down into the Distributions, add our Cost Recognition and Deferral Accounts then go to the Additional Menu and Select Deferral then save.  Reopen the Purchasing batch and print the edit list, we can see the Deferral Edit List.  However, when we post the batch, the Deferral ALTRN batch does not get created in General Ledger Batches and in the Posting Reports that print to screen, the Deferral Edit List is not generated.

    Hi,

    Did it ever work the way you wanted it to? I just ran a transaction through PO and it created the ALTRN batch as expected.

    Kind regards,

    Thanks for your response, no I was not able to get it to work through PO transaction.  The only way I can make it work is through the Deferral Entry Window.

    I must not be doing it the same way. Would you please 'step by step' me through exactly how you are doing it?

    Kind regards,

    Sure here are the steps we are following. 

    Transactions - Purchasing - Purchasing Batches

    Create new batch name and select Origin Purchasing Invoice Entry and click into Transactions

    On Purchasing Invoice Entry screen, enter Vendor Document Number, Vendor ID, and click Auto-Invoice

    Select a checkbox for a PO line from the list and click Invoice

    Once back on the Purchasing Invoice Entry Screen, select the line item and click Distributions button

    On Purchasing Invoice Distribution Entry screen, enter two new accounts and use Miscellaneous Type, the Cost Recognition account as a Credit for the total amount, and the Deferral account as the debit for the total amount

    Click on the Deferral account line, then click Additional Menu, and click Deferral

    On Deferral Entry, enter an End of Period Date, Miscellaneous Period Days and enter back in the Cost Recognition account used on the previous screen and once you tab off you can see the spread for how many months and the amounts below, click OK, click OK, click Save

    Reopen Purchasing Batch (check edit list, you can see the deferral edit list before you post).  

    Post batch, and the deferral edit list does not get generated in the reports after posting, and the ALTRN Financial batch is not created. 

    Are you using different steps to get the ALTRN batch to create. 

    Thanks your help.

    hi Kristi,

    it happens to me also.

    I think this is GP Bugs.

    because after I input the deferral account and amount, and directly post my receiving.

    the batch appear.

    but if I reopen the distribution it appears to be missing.
