PAO 9-4-10

Section: ACCOUNTING AND REMITTANCE
Subsection: PAO ADMINISTRATION--GENERAL ACCOUNT ROLLOVER--CDFS SYSTEM PROCESS

  OUTLINE
    The following describes how the Common Departmental Financial System (CDFS) performs the rollover process:
    Old year General Ledger (GL) Account closing balances for Asset, Liability, and Equity are rolled into their related New Year account's opening balance amounts. an Old Year account may roll into a different client, GL entity or GL account, and each account will have a separate field for the opening balance.
    Note that the Credit and Debit of each net amount will be different; Example: if total of assets + liabilities = 10 debits, then total equity should be 10 credits. If the amounts are not equal, a message(s) will be displayed on the rollover report with the amounts detailed and the process will terminate as unsuccessful.
   
NOTE: All control account balances must be transferred to the designated liability account prior to the rollover.
    Audit reports of all updates to the New Year GL Accounts and their related Sub-ledger Accounts, where applicable are provided. The reports are in New Year GL Account sequence. Refer to the CDFS- System Manager's Guide, Chapter 9 for more detailed information.
