RE: Should you Summarize?

["Paul Holstein" <holstein13@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

George,

Great catch.  Since I am sitting at a 6.04 machine I decided to look at the 
file.  I noticed that SSA has added a transaction counter to the file 
(XRTRNN) as well as an Activity data structure field which can be used to 
track the detail in a grouped and summarized entry.

My client here does not group or summarize so I don't know exactly how this 
would work in practice but it does look positive.

Looks like this may help those on version 6.04 and higher.

<Don't count on GXR.  I have found that it is one record per Journal entry
only.  Therefore, if you group, and you summarize, you're out of luck.>

Paul,

I haven't verified personally, but according to the 6.04 Net Change
Document, Page 72:

"Enhancement: Subsystem Cross Reference
Scope
Enhancements to ATP and CEA provide improved reconciliation capabilities of
journal postings from subsystem transactions. Changes cover:
· recording subsystem Cross Reference between subsystem and journals when
journal grouping and/or summarization are utilized.
· CEA inquiry windows
· drill down to subsystem inquiry application(s)
Cross Reference
Standard transaction Cross Reference information is stored, linking each
subsystem transaction and the journal(s) is generated.
In prior releases, only one Cross Reference was kept for each journal but
when journal grouping is enabled, there can be multiple subsystem
transactions contributing to any particular journal."

Is your (or anyone's out there) experience contrary to this? I have never
turned on grouping or summarization when a line-by-line audit procedure was
required, so I have never had opportunity to put the Net Change Doc's claim
to the test.

Geo.
