A couple journal entries were made this month after PCA’s were ran. Is there a way to run PCA’s for the same period after all the steps in the PCA Step Definition have already been Executed?

Yes, you can rollback each step and start over again.

 

It might be necessary to change the Status of the Procedure:

Procedure Status
The status of the procedure is one of the following:

Defined: Steps, distributions, and factors for the procedure can be defined and changed.

Active: Steps in the procedure can be executed. Definitions for unexecuted steps in the procedure can be changed.

Closed: All the steps in the procedure have been executed and no changes can be made.


I have found that if an entry is made after I have executed PCA, I am not able to roll back the PCA. I get the error message “Can not rollback journal when there are other journals created later.”  I am in Aurena.  Does IEE allow the rollback but Aurena doesn’t?


HI 

 

@Ralph Gericke 

I'm getting the same error message “Cannot rollback journal when there are other journals created later.” and I can't cancel, but I've just redone another test and I can cancel my distribution.

I don't understand why 

 



Can you tell me the purpose of the 3 settings below if you have already tested them? 
 
thank you for your help

 


The three items execution mode: batch means that you are abke to rollback multiple steps at once.

Within years means that you can start a periodical cost allocation for Jan even though Dec has not been executed. Over years: you cannot start Jan before having executed Dec Allocation.

 

You can setup more than 12 periods. The additional periods are special in a way that they can only be used from a user group for Year-End-Periods.

In case that you would like to do an allocation in a year end period a specific user group must be used.


Hi ​@Ralph Gericke 

 

 

Thanks for your help, I'll do some tests 

 

 

For the error message do you have an idea please? 

 

 

 


Do you know which voucher has been created in between?

 


@Ralph Gericke 

 

the problem is that I don't have any between I don't understand 

 


We submitted a ticket to IFS to find out why we were not able to rollback PCA.  We had the Rollback Mode set to “Rollback”.  The explanation we received is as follows:

“Explanation for this behavior: This is standard system behavior. If vouchers are posted after the PCA voucher, the PCA voucher cannot be rolled back. This is because each voucher generates sequential journal IDs. Therefore, rolling back an older PCA voucher is not permitted.

For example, if the journal ID for the PCA voucher is 1, and I then create another voucher, whether it's a manual voucher or related to an invoice, it will be assigned journal ID 2. Because of this sequence, the application does not allow the user to roll back and remove the PCA voucher, as it would disrupt the consistency of the GL journal IDs.”

Rollback basically deletes the original PCA entry - which is why in testing, I was always able to immediately rollback a PCA - because nothing else had posted yet, but I couldn’t do it later in the day.  Correction leaves the original PCA entry, creates a correcting entry and then creates a new PCA entry when the process is reran.  You basically end up with 3 vouchers this way.

We changed the Rollback Mode to “Correction”, and I was able to rollback the PCA with no errors.    

Item to note - you are not able to rollback a PCA if another PCA has been executed.  For instance, I can’t rollback June if I’ve already ran PCA for July.

Hope this helps everyone else!
