TPM GL Integration

You use this program to create General Ledger journals from the transaction journals produced in Trade Promotions.

While the transaction journals are created automatically when you successfully process a transaction in Trade Promotions, the corresponding General Ledger journal is created and posted according to your selections for Accounts Receivable on the General Ledger tab of the General Ledger Integration program. Refer to Effect of automation level selected.

The TPM GL Integration program can only be accessed if Accounts Receivable is linked to the General Ledger either in detail or in summary (General Ledger Integration).

If a General Ledger account used in this program requires General Ledger analysis (General Ledger Codes or GL Structure Definition), then the GL Analysis program is displayed when you post the transaction, enabling you to enter the analysis details or to select to enter them later (see General Ledger Integration). General Ledger analysis entries are always distributed in the local currency, irrespective of the currency in which the original transaction is processed.
