Description
Currently the CIP process does not allow you to enter the Obligation Document Number - this is where we store the MIPR Nbr that funds the CIP project.
Currently, when the X819 is generated DPAS moves the Reg Doc Nbr into the Ob Doc Nbr field because there isn't one on the record.
The Ob Doc Nbr field is the most important accounting field and needs to be on the CIP project, so that when costs are added, the accounting transaction is posted against the correct MIPR.
Recommended
Add Ob Doc Nbr to the cost tab within the CIP Add/Update/Delete and move the value of the Ob Doc Nbr to the accounting transaction when it is created.
Mission Critical
This is mission critical - our accounting interface partners have to manually correct the accounting transaction every time we increase a CIP project. We normally receive monthly AP increases to every CIP project that is currently open, so every month FMLO is required to manually change accounting records.
Benefits
This change will result in accurate financial reporting and will reduce time/cost of manually having to intercept and update an automated accounting interface.
Users
This will affect all users that have capital CIP projects
