To update the BPS module with any new GL accounts that have been created in Finance, and also any GL accounts that have been changed or adjusted, you would run the Finance to BPS transfer and be sure to say NO to the Actual amounts so that only the GL accounts are refreshed and added to, but no other information is brought over.
-
BPS Interface Menu > BAS to BPS Transfer. The system will ask for what Year in Finance to use for the GL account information (2016) what year to in BPS to post to (2016) what Budget ID to use (0) Update Alias in BPS (Y/N) this will depend on if you are using the Finance alias information in the BPS system, Update BAS Actual Amounts in BPS (Y = forecasting N = Budget building) Include Commitments (Y = Forecasting N = Budgets)
-
Selection Criteria Code (a GL selection criteria can be set up in BAS to pull for BPS purposes such as Fund 1 to Fund Z, or you can do a Quick Code of the range that makes up your Budget GL's such as a Fund range, or an Alias range)
When running forecasting you would say YES to the Actual amounts as this is how you pull the actual costs over to be included when running your forecasting scenarios.
