Ledgers Pdf

[Zoraida]

Hiwe have a new client that has multiple legal entities (companies) they all share the same chart of accounts, base currency, etc. so we are setting them up as companies (as opposed to tenants). We have the option when creating these of having one actual ledger that the multiple companies share or a separate actual ledger for each company. I was wondering if anyone had any pros/cons for the right way to configure this. They do have a few inter company transactions that they will book manually as they did not purchase the inter company module. Is it better for one reason or another to share the same actual ledger or is it better for them to have separate actual ledgers. Are there any reporting problems with separate or any recording problems with shared?

I would go with one Ledger, even with multiple Companies that are separate legal entities. I've done that before and it worked great. You can still filter on Companies / Branches in the ARM Financial Report Writer. Having multiple Actual Ledgers would "actually" make financial reporting more complicated.

But that situation is often because those Companies have a different base currencies so they couldn't be handled under one Tenant. At the Summit last year, they mentioned on the roadmap that you'll soon be able to have multiple base currencies under one Tenant. I'm wondering if we might see this get introduced in Acumatica 2020 R1:

Be careful - There may be a legal requirement to have separate ledgers for separate legal entities, even though using a single "Actual Ledger" in Acumatica seems to be a good solution. Especially in Micro Loans (Financial) businesses that have additional regulatory requirements.

Further my question: I would like to understand if the segregation of data for ledgers even between companies within 1 tenant, and companies across multi-tenants can be "housed" in separate databases, that are related (or linked), but could be delinked is a possibility? Possible regulatory audit requirement!

Oftentimes though with auditors it's just a matter of explanation and defining terms. What an auditor calls a "ledger", Acumatica calls a "company", etc. From a structural standpoint, Ledger and Company are just columns in the General Ledger database tables.

Is there a way to split a Tenant into multiple Databases? That would be interesting. As far as I've seen, everything in an Instance (URL), including all Tenants in that Instance, gets stored in one Database. You can have multiple Instances pointing to one Database, but I'm not sure how you would have one Instance pointing to multiple Databases.

Don't get too caught up in two companies sharing a single ledger. Each company's instance of the ledger is still unique to the company. Don't forget that that multiple companies already share a tenant and a database. It's just another data construct. Fear not!

This page describes how to manage funds and ledgers including basic terms, ledger and fund ownership/availability and working with exchange rates. It also includes instructions for adding and deleting funds and ledgers as well as activating/deactivating them. For information on moving funds see Moving Funds and for transferring allocations between funds see Transferring Money Between Allocated Funds. For an overview of working with acquisitions in Alma, including links to relevant sections such as Invoicing, Working with Orders/PO Lines, Renewals, Configuration, etc., see Introduction to Acquisitions.

For institutions that purchase resources with a different currency than the default currency and have agreements on specific exchange rates, you can define a fixed exchange rate in the Explicit Exchange Rates code table (Configuration Menu > Acquisitions > Invoices > Explicit Exchange Rates), for more information see: Configuring Explicit Exchange Rates. The Explicit Exchange Rate configuration has an impact on the encumbrances (PO lines) and expenditures (Invoices) associated with the fund as the exchange rate is applied to the PO line at the time of creation and to the invoice once it is approved.

The libraries that can use funds from this ledger. By default, this matches the selection under Owned by: either the institution or a single library. If it is a single library, this field cannot be modified. If it is the institution, all of the libraries in the institution can use the ledger, but you can modify the field so that only certain libraries can do so.

Be sure to clear the institution selection if you want to limit access to the ledger to specific libraries. If you do not, when you save the ledger, all of the library selections are removed, and only the institution remains.

The Overencumbrance Limit takes into account and is compared to (PO line Net Price + Encumbrance Balance) when checking if the fund can be used for a specific PO Line. This depends on its Net Price and the Encumbered Balance.

If the fund (or funds associated with the ledger) have associated transactions, then the fund needs to be activated to show the Transactions tab so that the transactions can be deleted. After all transactions are deleted make the fund inactive to delete it.

The ledger is a permanent summary of all amounts entered in supporting journals (day books) which list individual transactions by date. Usually every transaction, or a total of a series of transactions, flows from a journal to one or more ledgers. Depending on the company's bookkeeping procedures, all journals may be totaled and the totals posted to the relevant ledger each month. At the end of the accounting period, the company's financial statements are generated from summary totals in the ledgers.[2]

Distributed ledgers (e.g. blockchains) enable financial institutions to efficiently reconcile cross-organization transactions. For example, banks might use a distributed ledger as a settlement log for digital assets. Unfortunately, these ledgers are either entirely public to all participants, revealing sensitive strategy and trading information, or are private but do not support third-party auditing without revealing the contents of transactions to the auditor. Auditing and financial oversight are critical to proving institutions are complying with regulation.

BookKeeper is designed to be reliable and resilient to a wide variety of failures. Bookies can crash, corrupt data, or discard data, but as long as there are enough bookies behaving correctly in the ensemble the service as a whole will behave correctly.

A bookie is an individual BookKeeper storage server. Individual bookies store fragments of ledgers, not entire ledgers (for the sake of performance). For any given ledger L, an ensemble is the group of bookies storing the entries in L.

The initial motivation for BookKeeper comes from the Hadoop ecosystem. In the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), a special node called the NameNode logs all operations in a reliable fashion, which ensures that recovery is possible in case of crashes.

The NameNode, however, served only as initial inspiration for BookKeeper. The applications for BookKeeper extend far beyond this and include essentially any application that requires an append-based storage system. BookKeeper provides a number of advantages for such applications:

A journal file contains BookKeeper transaction logs. Before any update to a ledger takes place, the bookie ensures that a transaction describing the update is written to non-volatile storage. A new journal file is created once the bookie starts or the older journal file reaches the journal file size threshold.

An entry log file manages the written entries received from BookKeeper clients. Entries from different ledgers are aggregated and written sequentially, while their offsets are kept as pointers in a ledger cache for fast lookup.

A new entry log file is created once the bookie starts or the older entry log file reaches the entry log size threshold. Old entry log files are removed by the Garbage Collector Thread once they are not associated with any active ledger.

Since updating index files would introduce random disk I/O index files are updated lazily by a sync thread running in the background. This ensures speedy performance for updates. Before index pages are persisted to disk, they are gathered in a ledger cache for lookup.

For performance reasons, the entry log buffers entries in memory and commits them in batches, while the ledger cache holds index pages in memory and flushes them lazily. This process is described in more detail in the Data flush section below.

Ideally, a bookie only needs to flush index pages and entry log files that contain entries before LastLogMark. There is, however, no such information in the ledger and entry log mapping to journal files. Consequently, the thread flushes the ledger cache and entry log entirely here, and may flush entries after the LastLogMark. Flushing more is not a problem, though, just redundant.

The LastLogMark is persisted to disk, which means that entries added before LastLogMark whose entry data and index page were also persisted to disk. It is now time to safely remove journal files created earlier than txnLogId.

If the bookie has crashed before persisting LastLogMark to disk, it still has journal files containing entries for which index pages may not have been persisted. Consequently, when this bookie restarts, it inspects journal files to restore those entries and data isn't lost.

Using the above data flush mechanism, it is safe for the sync thread to skip data flushing when the bookie shuts down. However, in the entry logger it uses a buffered channel to write entries in batches and there might be data buffered in the buffered channel upon a shut down. The bookie needs to ensure that the entry log flushes its buffered data during shutdown. Otherwise, entry log files become corrupted with partial entries.
