Ledger Interface (LIS) is used to configure the journal transfer from SunSystems Order Fulfilment to SunSystems Financials. Different types of journal can be generated by Order Fulfilment and posted into Financials to reflect different Order Fulfilment transactions and processing stages. Each different set of interface journals required is defined using this form and identified by a separate Ledger Interface Code.

The Ledger Interface Code is assigned to a particular processing stage in an Order Fulfilment transaction type using the relevant transaction type setup form, for example Purchase Types Setup.
Ledger Interface is used to define the overall requirements for a particular type of journal interface. This includes many different posting options.
A series of details are defined for the Ledger Interface, one for each journal line to be generated. These details are defined using Ledger Interface Details Setup.

The Ledger Interface form contains the following fields:

Ledger Interface Code
The code that uniquely identifies this Ledger Interface. This is assigned to a type of Order Fulfilment transactions, for a processing stage.
Module
The Order Fulfilment module from which transaction details are to be interfaced into Financials. Options are: Sales, Purchasing or Inventory.
Description
This description is used as the default journal line description when posting movements created by the Sales module. Other movements show the movement type description and invoices use the transaction type description. You can enter '*' asterisk to use the supplier or customer account code as a description.
Batch or Online Posting
The method used to interface the journal transactions to Financials. The following options are available:

Target Ledger
The ledger to be updated in Financials, for example, a budget ledger or the actuals ledger. Financials ledgers are identified by the letters A to K. The target ledger should be set to A to update the actuals ledger. If the Ledger Interface is for the Sales or Purchasing modules you can select either the actuals ledger or a valid budget ledger in Financials.
To interface from the Inventory module you must select the actuals ledger, that is, A.
To interface from the Purchasing module to a budget ledger, you can select either the primary budget ledger or the commitment ledger identified in the Purchase Business Setup (PBS) depending on whether or not you are using Commitment control. See What is Commitment Checking?
To interface from the Sales module to a budget ledger you can only select the expected revenue budget ledger defined in the Sales Business Unit Setup (SBS).
Journal Type
The journal type to be used for the journals generated by this Ledger Interface Setup. The journal type must have been defined in Financials using Journal Types Setup (JT). The interface ignores any journal presets assigned to the journal type.
You should ensure that the analysis dimensions required by the journal type correspond to those being transferred from the Order Fulfilment module. If you are transferring asset details, the Enter Asset Details option must be set for the journal type.
Summarization Breakout
The level at which the relevant Order Fulfilment transactions are summarized to define a single journal line. Options are:

You can only choose to summarize by User Id or Transaction Type if the interface is for:

The Inventory module Either the Sales or Purchasing modules posting to one of the budget ledgers (B to K).

Ledger Interface Value Type
This determines whether the Ledger Interface is transferring values from the Order Fulfilment transactions being processed, or cost values from the inventory issue and receipt costing transactions.
Up to four values can be interfaced for each value type. These correspond to the base currency, transaction currency, 2nd base or reporting currency, and memo value on Financials transactions. It is not possible to interface to Values 4 and 5, which are available for Financials only transactions.
Select Transaction Values to interface selected values from the transactions. The four transaction values to be interfaced are defined in the Value Label fields on Ledger Interface Details Setup.
Select Inventory Costs to interface selected cost values from the costing transactions. The four costs to be interfaced are determined by the Cost Indicator, Cost Source, Cost Type Code and User Defined Cost Def'n Code fields on Ledger Interface Details Setup.
Tip: The format of each value to be transferred is identified in the Value Label Value Type fields on Ledger Interface Details Setup.
