Article summary

Interface Description

The General Ledger (GL) module, within Florida PALM records, summarizes, and reports financial data. Ledger data is updated by creating and posting the journals within GL. The ledger data origins can be GL, source modules, external systems. Appropriate edits, budget (and cash) checks, approvals, and postings occur prior to ledger being updated to maintain the integrity of accounting consistently across agencies and accurate reporting of balances.

Currently in Florida PALM, all summarized financial balances are posted against ACTUALS ledger. The ACTUALS ledger is considered the book of record and is the primary ledger which holds the summarized balances. This outbound interface contains the summary balances by ChartField String (Organization, Account, Fund, Budget Entity, Category, State Program, Grant, Contract, Other Accumulator 1, Other Accumulator 2, Project) posted and unposted to the ‘ACTUALS’ ledger for use by Agency Business systems. Agencies can use this extract as a part of the ongoing reconciliation process. 

The GLI002 program will consist of the following core functions:

  1. Generate an “Outbound Actuals Extract” flat file containing balances from the ‘ACTUALS’ ledger.
  2. Transfer the generated “Outbound Actuals Extract” flat file to the pre-defined file server location.
