6. Accounting Cycle Components Scrubber – Perform the following major functions: Validation of Data Application of select missing values Reference to chart of accounts for validation (non-free form fields) Continuation account logic Generation of offsets Document balancing, including flexible offsets Capitalization of assets and liabilities Plant indebtedness Cost share transfers Cost share encumbrances Error handling Most common source for error files for input into the GLCP e-doc (in conjunction with De-Merge process) De-Merge Process – Pulls all of the transactions for a document that the scrubber found to have errors and backs out any scrubber generated offsets. This is the main source of transactions for the General Ledger Correction Process (GLCP) e-doc.

7. Accounting Cycle Components Continued GL Poster – Performs the following major functions: Three instances of the poster Primary poster for the scrubbed transactions Automated reversal process Indirect Cost Recovery (ICR) Limited validation of data (amount, account number, object type, balance type, fiscal year, chart, debit/credit indicator, & reversal date) Updates and inserts to GL tables GL Entry (GLEN) GL Balance (GLBL) Account Balance (ACBL) Sufficient Funds (SFBL) Open Encumbrances (GLEC) GL Reversals (GLRV) Initial determination of expenses eligible for ICR GL Expense Transactions (GLEX) temporary table

8. Accounting Cycle Components Continued Automated Reversal Process - Systematically reverses transactions that were created with a reversal date. A copy of the original transaction remains in the GL Reversal (GLRV) table until the reversal date is reached. Indirect Cost Recovery (ICR) – Calculates ICR based on the expenses found in the GL Expense Transactions (GLEX) table. Generally, ICR is charged to the account incurring the original charge and revenue is recorded in an associated income stream account, usually a general fund Responsibility Center (RC) account (table driven). –From account - financial series ID, ICR rate, ICR types, custom exclusions by object code, and revenue chart and account –From reference tables – ICR automated entry, ICR type, and account exclusions Bank Specific Claim on Cash (Release 3.0) – When activated users can specify a bank code on appropriate e-docs (DV, ND, CR, PREQ, etc…). When specified an additional set of cash transactions will be generated which reclassify the original cash entry to a bank specific cash entry, likely in an institutional level account. Indirect Cost Recovery (ICR) Encumbrances (Post Release 3.0) – An extension of the actual ICR calculation for encumbrances. This is an optional feature, that when activated, will calculate ICR encumbrances based on the outstanding encumbrance balances for an account.

9. Scrubber, Poster and GLCP in Relation to Chart Set-up Attributes of Account Numbers Sufficient funds checking on/off indicator and type of checking (object code, level, consolidation, cash checking, account) Expiration date, closed indicator, and continuation accounting string for continuation account processing Indirect cost rates, financial series ID’s, exclusions, and revenue accounts for Indirect Cost Recovery (ICR) calculations Attributes of Sub-Account Numbers Identifies cost share sub accounts and the source accounting string for cost share transfers and cost share encumbrance processing Attributes of Organizations Identify the plant fund account numbers for capitalization and plant indebtedness Offset Definition Reference Table Determines the appropriate offset in the event a balancing transaction is needed
