How does the Estimated Impact differ from the task count for the Review projected journal entries task?

For projected journal entries, the Estimated Impact is based on an expected posting period and represents an expected amount, while the task count is based on a posting period and counts the actual journal entry exceptions meeting the posting-period criteria. In short, the estimated amount uses expected posting dates; the task number uses posting periods.

Are Estimated Impact amounts displayed in the subsidiary’s base currency, and how are foreign-currency transactions converted?

Yes. All Estimated Impact amounts are shown in the subsidiary’s base currency, and transactions created in a foreign currency are converted using either the most up-to-date exchange rate or the exchange rate entered on the transaction.

What controls visibility, the task count, and the link availability for the Run intercompany eliminations task?

The intercompany-eliminations task count and link appear only when the view is filtered to a consolidated subsidiary, and the count is evaluated for the selected parent consolidated subsidiary and accounting period. The task link becomes clickable only after both Revalue open currency balances and Calculate consolidated exchange rates are complete; if either prerequisite is incomplete the task remains visible but its link is disabled.

Which Accounting tasks provide a clickable task number that opens a processing page or Exception Management tab, and what pages do they open?

Task numbers open processing pages or tabs for specific tasks: Approve journal entries opens the Approve Journals page; Resolve journal entry exceptions opens the Transaction Errors tab on the Exception Management page; Review projected journal entries opens the Expected Transactions tab on the Exception Management page; Create expense allocation journal entries opens the Allocation Schedules page; Revalue open currency balances opens the Month End Currency Revaluation page; Calculate consolidated exchange rates opens the Consolidated Exchange Rates page; and Run intercompany eliminations opens the Eliminate Intercompany Transactions page.

Intelligent Close Manager Accounting...

Intelligent Close Manager’s Accounting tasks show estimated impact, task counts, and, for certain tasks, links to processing pages for a selected subsidiary and period. The measures differ by task: some quantify journal entries or allocations, while currency, exchange-rate, and elimination tasks have specific consolidated-close dependencies.

What does each Accounting task measure?

The Accounting section uses task-specific definitions rather than one common count rule. Estimated Impact is populated for journal-entry, allocation, and currency-revaluation tasks; some consolidation tasks show no estimated impact and instead provide a task count or availability indicator.

Task	Estimated Impact	Tasks	What selecting the task number opens
Create amortization journal entries	Total amount of amortization journal entries expected to be created for the selected subsidiary and period	Number of amortization journal entries expected to be created for the selected subsidiary and period	—
Posted journal entries	Total amount of posted journal entries for the selected subsidiary and period	—	—
Approve journal entries	Total amount of journal entries in Pending Approval status for the selected subsidiary, with a posting period on or before the selected period	Number of journal entries meeting those criteria	Approve Journals page
Resolve journal entry exceptions	Total amount of journal entry exceptions of type Incorrect Amount for the selected subsidiary, with a posting period on or before the selected period	Number of journal entry exceptions meeting those criteria	Transaction Errors tab on the Exception Management page
Review projected journal entries	Expected total amount of journal entries of type Missing Transaction for the selected subsidiary, with an expected posting period on or before the selected period	Number of journal entry exceptions of type Missing Transaction for the selected subsidiary, with a posting period on or before the selected period	Expected Transactions tab on the Exception Management page
Create expense allocation journal entries	Total amount to be allocated by allocation schedules due for the selected subsidiary and accounting period	Number of allocation schedules for the selected period and subsidiary	Allocation Schedules page
Revalue open currency balances	Estimated total foreign-currency revaluation amount, based on the prior month’s revaluation result for the selected subsidiary and shown in that subsidiary’s base currency	Number of accounting book and subsidiary combinations for the selected subsidiary and accounting period; each accounting book is counted separately	Month End Currency Revaluation page
Calculate consolidated exchange rates	—	Number of Consolidated Exchange Rate records for which the Calculate action is available for the selected period	Consolidated Exchange Rates page
Run intercompany eliminations	—	1 when eliminations have not been completed for the selected parent consolidated subsidiary and accounting period; 0 after completion	Eliminate Intercompany Transactions page

The projected-journal task has an important difference between its two columns. Its estimated impact is based on an expected posting period, whereas its task count is based on a posting period. The estimated impact is explicitly an expected amount.

How are amounts and task counts scoped?

All amounts in the Estimated Impact column are shown in the subsidiary’s base currency. When a transaction was created in a foreign currency, the amount is converted to the base currency using the most up-to-date exchange rate or the exchange rate entered on the transaction.

The subsidiary and period criteria also vary by task:

Approval and journal-exception tasks include records with a posting period on or before the selected period.
The allocation task uses allocation schedules due for the selected subsidiary and accounting period, while its count is the number of schedules for the selected period and subsidiary.
Currency revaluation is measured for the selected subsidiary and accounting period, and its task count treats each accounting book for that subsidiary separately.
Consolidated exchange-rate records are counted only when the Calculate action is available for the selected period.

For review work, the task number can provide the route to the relevant page or tab where the listed records can be examined. Not every Accounting task includes a task-number destination: the source identifies destinations for approval, exceptions, projected entries, allocations, revaluation, consolidated exchange rates, and eliminations.

What is the required sequence for consolidated tasks?

Calculate consolidated exchange rates cannot be completed until Revalue open currency balances is completed.

Run intercompany eliminations has further conditions:

The task count and task link are available only when the view is filtered to a consolidated subsidiary.
The count is evaluated for the selected parent consolidated subsidiary and accounting period.
The task link is clickable only after both Revalue open currency balances and Calculate consolidated exchange rates are complete.
If either prerequisite is incomplete, the intercompany-eliminations task remains visible, but its link is disabled.

This means visibility, task count, and link availability are not identical conditions for intercompany eliminations. A user can see the task while still being unable to open the Eliminate Intercompany Transactions page from its task number.

Who This Affects

Users reviewing Accounting tasks for a selected subsidiary and period.
Users reviewing journal entries in Pending Approval status or journal entry exceptions of type Incorrect Amount or Missing Transaction.
Users working with allocation schedules due for a selected subsidiary and accounting period.
Users filtered to a consolidated subsidiary who need the intercompany-eliminations task count or link.
Users completing currency revaluation, consolidated exchange rates, and intercompany eliminations in the required order.

Key Takeaways

Estimated Impact and Tasks use different, task-specific criteria.
Estimated Impact amounts are displayed in the subsidiary’s base currency; foreign-currency transactions use the most up-to-date or entered transaction exchange rate for conversion.
Some task numbers open a named processing page or Exception Management tab.
Revalue open currency balances must be completed before Calculate consolidated exchange rates can be completed.
Intercompany eliminations is available only in a consolidated-subsidiary filter context, has a 1/0 task count, and keeps a disabled link visible until both prerequisites are complete.
