Using ESA for Inter-Unit Billing
Business Need: Our internal customers want to use the ESA Model for inter-unit billing, with settlement through AP/Netting. We have a large number of PC/Grants/Contracts/Billing users across multiple state agencies, with a variety of business processes at a detailed level. Due to system limitations, many continue to do inter-unit billing off-line. Doing via Journal Entry does not satisfy some internal controls between agencies, and does not address some Fed Audit "disbursement" type requirements where they need a disbursement transaction.
Current Setup: We have the Billing/AP/AR piece up and working when keying online Billing Invoices. We use Projects/Grants/Contracts/Billing for external billing and revenue without issue (millions of transactions a month).
