Transfer General Ledger Balances

The Transfer General Ledger Balances process copies general ledger balances to the GL_DETAIL_POSTING table in Eagle PACE. The system stores the balances separately for each accounting date and month end accounting date. Eagle PACE does not store separate balances for different accounting bases, unless they are also available in core STAR. If the local currency of an event differs from the base currency of the entity, STAR to PACE Direct stores the balances in both the local and base currency. For example, if entity A has a base currency of U.S. dollars and has a transaction in British pounds, then Eagle PACE stores the general ledger balances in U.S. dollars and in British pounds.

General ledger accounts with zero balances are not transferred to PACE, that is, to the Eagle data warehouse.

You can use the transfer general ledger balances process to copy balances to Eagle PACE on a daily or monthly basis, after completion of scheduled end of day processing.

To transfer general ledger balances on a daily or monthly basis:

In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Processing and Exceptions > Global Processes.
You see the Global Process workspace.
In the left navigation, click STAR to PACE Direct Processing > Transfer STAR General Ledger Balances.
You see the Transfer STAR General Ledger Balances panel.
Complete the options on the Transfer STAR General Ledger Balances panel.
Click Submit.
You see the Status window with the status of your request.
Click Print to print the status information. Or, click OK to close the Status window.
You see the Global Processing Results in the bottom pane. The Summary tab shows the event types associated with your request, along with a batch identifier. The Detail tab shows the processing status for each event.

Transfer STAR General Ledger Balances Panel Options

The following table lists the fields and field descriptions for the Transfer STAR General Ledger Balances panel.

Option	Description
Entity Parameters
Entity ID	Specifies the entity identifier for a portfolio, sector portfolio, composite portfolio, or Master Fund.
Entity Name	Specifies the entity by the name of the entity.
Accounting Basis	Specifies the accounting basis associated with data. This field appears only if you set the Generate For field to Specific Accounting Basis. Eagle PACE does not store separate balances for different accounting bases unless they are also available in core STAR.
Process Center	Segregates entities into "n" amount of Process Center groups. Doing so allows you to allocate the STAR to PACE workload across multiple STAR engine instances. The STAR to PACE Direct functionality generates the individual request messages for each entity/accounting basis combination at a much faster rate using Process Centers. The global processes incorporate the ability to run by the entity Process Center election. This allows you to schedule STAR to PACE Direct runs by custom defined groups. Note: Eagle strongly recommends that you use this option or the Conversion Status option.
Conversion Status	Specifies the conversion status. Global processes incorporate the ability to run by the entity Conversion Status election. This allows you to include/exclude STAR to PACE Direct runs by the status of the entity (if, for example, entities in a specific Conversion Status are not ready for STAR to PACE Direct). Note: Eagle strongly recommends that you use this option or the Process Center option. Specify a conversion status only as part of the initial data conversion process. Do not use it for normal production processing.
Partition Number	Specifies the database partition for the position. This value is automatically established by a lookup based on the specific entity.
Run Options
Generate For	Specifies the accounting basis associated with data to revalue. Options include: Primary Accounting Basis Only (Default). Only revalues data for the primary accounting basis for the entity. This is the default value. Specific Accounting Basis. Allows you to choose a specific accounting basis to roll. If you select this value, you must specify an Accounting Basis value in the Entity Parameters section. Only Secondary Accounting Basis. Only revalues data for the secondary accounting basis for the entity. All Accounting Bases. Revalues data for every accounting basis of the selected entities.
Event Type	Displays the event type value GEN_STAR_PACE_GL.
Date Type	Specifies the date type and source. Options include: Accounting Date. Transfer balances on a daily basis. The system assigns the accounting date record a source of STARDIRECT (or one of the secondary accounting bases). Eagle PACE stores daily GL account balances derived using the accounting date. Month End Accounting Date. Transfer balances on a monthly basis. The system assigns the month end date record a source of MSTARDIRECT. For example, it assigns MSTARGAAP for the GAAP accounting basis. Eagle PACE stores monthly GL balances derived using the monthly accounting date.
End Date	Specifies the accounting date or the month end date for which you want to transfer account balances to Eagle PACE. The default is today's date.
