Accounting Template Configuration
The accounting template table (ACTPL) allows users the ability to create templates with chart of account elements to assist with data entry (see below). Although only a select group of users can update the templates, it is possible for those users to incorrectly alter a template for another department. Please be cognizant of two items:
When searching for a template, first select Search and then enter your search criteria to ensure you are not making updates to another departments template.
When creating or updating templates, you are authorized to create or update a template for your department only.
Best practice is to copy an existing template and update to meet specifications.
Navigate to Global Search Bar and enter ACTPL.
Data validation rules (BORULEs)
Data validation rules (BORULEs) have been configured to ensure accounting template (ACTPL) information is valid before being saved and submitted. Two new error messages may arise if not done correctly within the ACTPL page.
The first error will be a required message when a corresponding field is populated. For example, if a Sub Fund is filled out and the Fund is blank the message will appear as, "Fund is required when Sub Fund is entered."
The second error will appear when the information entered is not valid. For example, if the Department is not valid the message will appear as, "Department Object is not valid in the current fiscal year."
