Re: CEA BPCS V6.1

We too did not have a valid book for 2008 when invoicing ran (we were allowed to setup a period the first day for 2008 before invoicing ran that night but CEA did not inform us there was no book for 2008).

Infor calls this a critical error and the allow journals in error flag does not help you. THERE IS NO AUTOMATIC RECOVERY. You must manually determine what journals should be entered and make them. We are still working on this for the first days invoicing. Unlike INV921, where you can recover (eg a bad date entered on a transaction trying to post to a period that is closed), invoicing with no book leaves you in a hole.

Unfortunately, we had turnover in accounting and the new people were not aware of the need to set this up (believe me, it is now in our year end SOP to make sure that happens in the future).

We called OGS and they confirmed.

Issue:
How does the Allow Journals in Error flag on Event Determination Sequence work? How should it be set for different subsystems

Solution:

Allow Journals in Error is used by the ATP engine to determine how journals with errors are to be treated for the specified event sequence. When ATP encounters an error such as a missing Alias, if the allow journals in error flag is selected, the journal is created and left in Maintain Events in an unposted status waiting for manual correction. If the flag is not set, no journal is created. Where there is a critical error, such as a new book has not been created for a new year, no transaction will be created under either method. Typically, all of the subsystems will be updated regardless of the Allow Journals in Error flag, so they should ordinarily be set to Allow Journals in Error

I don't know if you received a response already, but you
should be able to setup a new calendar and book for the new
year and maintain events for this JE in error and post the
journal entry. I am assuming that you ran BIL500 and the
allow journals in error flag is set to "yes".
