CREATE IWO ALLOCATIONS

Proceed with the transfer process as soon as you have calculated and posted the bills for IWO projects. All untransferred records (IWO_XFR_FL=N) in the Billing Detail History (BILLING_DETL_HIST) table will be used as the basis for the IWO allocation.  The creation process is run by the performing database and is an Inception to Date (ITD) calculation. When IWO entries are created, they are marked with a location. This location identifies the receiving database. It may or may not be the same as the sending database. The process produces two journal entries: one for the sending database and one for the receiving database. The accounts to be used in the journal entry are designated in the IWO Project Setup screen. The two entries are stored in the IWO Allocation Header (IWO_ALLOC_HDR), IWO Allocation Transaction (IWO_ALLOC_TRN), and IWO Allocation Labor (IWO_ALLOC_LAB) tables. If labor is also transferred, it is stored separately in the third of these three IWO staging tables. The system uses the tables to send the data to another database, if necessary, or to just hold the data for posting if the sending and receiving databases are the same.  In the receiving database, the data is posted to the Open Billing Detail table, all the general ledger tables, and the Labor History table of the receiving database. The S_JNL_CD in the GL_POST_SUM table will be shown as IWO.

This screen is the fourth step in the IWO process.

Technical Information

The source of the data for the entries is the Billing Detail History (BILL_DETL_HIST) table.

Sending Database entry

or, if you selected Cost Transfer in the IWO Project Setup screen (Projects » Inter-Company Work Orders » Controls):

Receiving Database entry

After you create the entry, the system creates the two journal entries in the IWO Allocation Header (IWO_ALLOC_HDR) table. Supporting detail is created in the IWO Allocation Transaction (IWO_ALLOC_TRN) table. If labor entries are part of the transfer, the detail is in the IWO Allocation Labor (IWO_ALLOC_LAB) table. You can review these entries, but only the account and organization are editable. Once you have reviewed the entries and found them acceptable, use the Export IWO Allocations screen (Projects » Inter-Company Work Orders) to export them to the receiving database.
