I had a request come my way and hoping for some guidance. We have a new Controller here and he is wanting to utilize a corporate account reconciliation process. This would involve exporting data daily from IFS in a certain format (see below). I’m sure this is doable, but don’t know best way to do so. First look seems like the External File functionality in Accounting might be a place to start. Wondering if anyone has set this type of transfer up before and if I am on the right track.
Thanks in advance! We are on Apps8 sp1+
To integrate we’ll need a trial balance and ledger transaction file published to a FTP directory daily.
- Text files
- Pipe delimiter “|”
- No column headings
- Static filename (so data overwrites and doesn’t create new files)
Trial Balance- 13 months rolling periods including current month (include all accounts- even without activity and zero balance)
BU Name|Year|Month|Account|Account Description|Opening Balance|Net Activity|Total Debits|Total Credits|Ending Balance
Ledger Transactions- 3 months rolling periods including current month (depending on volume- exclude P&L accounts)(Doc and Local values are positive for debits and negative for credits)
BU Name|Doc Date|Posting Date|Doc Number|Doc Type|Year|Month|Account|Account Description|”D” or “C”|Local Amount|Line Refrence|Posted By|Doc Type Description|Doc Currency|Customer/Vendor ID|Doc Amount|
