(on behalf of customer) GASB65 report requirements - considering adding of new Account Types
We just upgraded to 9.1 Financials and are considering setting up new 2 Account Types to meet GASB65 reporting requirements:
• Deferred Outflows of Resources
• Deferred Inflows of Resources
Peoplebooks 9.1 Application Fundamentals states “You can add account types for special circumstances but these require additional changes in your system and are not recommended unless you are prepared to make extensive modifications.”
Support has provided the following points to consider, but we were wondering whether any of you out in the community had actually added any new Account Types and could share their experience?
-Since all financial and many supply chain modules feed accounting entries that have accounts with existing Account Types in to the General Ledger - adding any new Account Types would require testing of all the various source transactions from which accounting entries are created and then journals generated from the accounting entries. This would involve thorough testing of all source transactions from accounting entry creation through to journal generation, journal edit and journal posting, as well as ledger vs. journal integrity reporting and tracking - all the modules you have installed.
