Run a Global Process Manually in Accounting Center

You can use the Accounting Center's Global Process workspace to run a global process manually. For example, you can submit the Approve Margin panel to perform global processing that approves variation margin.

To run a global process manually in Accounting Center:

1. In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Processing & Exceptions > Global Processes.
   You see the Global Process workspace. In the left navigation pane, you see global process categories such as Cash, Earnings, and Expenses.
2. Click a category and then click the name of the global process that you want to run.
   For example, click STAR to PACE Direct Processing and then click Transfer Data - Batch. You see the panel for the selected global process.
3. Enter the criteria for the selected global process, and then click Submit.
   You see the status of the event loopbacks in the Loopbacks pane at the bottom of the panel. The Loopbacks pane in each global process panel has a Total Generated column that identifies the number of loopbacks processed. It includes a column for each processing status, such as Total Pending, Total Processed, Total Rejected, and Total Overridden. If the system generated no loopbacks (that is, the system found nothing to process), you see a message that no loopbacks were produced. The following figure shows the Transfer Data - Batch panel. 
   
4. To review the results for a specific event's loopbacks, click the row on the Summary tab, and then click the Details tab. 
   You see the loopback details for the selected event. Notice the Staus column shows the colored icon for the loopback processing status.
   
5. Research and resolve the loopback details as needed. 

Run a Global Process Manually in Automation Center

You can use Automation Center's Monitor workspace to run a global process manually. For example, you can submit the Approve Margin panel to perform global processing that approves variation margin.

To run a global process manually in Automation Center:

1. In Automation Center, in the left navigation pane, click Automation Desk > Monitor.
   You see the Monitor workspace. 
2. Under Select Type, click Loopbacks.

   You see the panel for the selected global process.

5. Enter the criteria for the global process, and then click Submit.
   After you submit the panel to run a global process, you see the status of the event loopbacks in the Loopbacks pane at the bottom of the panel.
6. To review the results for a specific event's loopbacks, click the row on the Summary tab, and then click the Details tab. 
7. Research and resolve the loopback details as needed. 

Research and Resolve Rejected Results when You Run a Global Process Manually

After you run a global process manually, you can review the results for the event's loopbacks in the pane at the bottom of the global process panel. You can research additional information about the loopback details with a Rejected status. Then, depending on reason for the rejection, you can attempt to resolve the issue, wait for another team to resolve the issue, or take other action..

To review results for a global process that you ran manually:

1. Run a global process manually in Accounting Center or Automation Center. 
   After you submit the panel, you see the Loopbacks pane at the bottom of the panel.
2. In the Summary tab, review the Total Rejected column value.
   The Total Rejected column identifies the total number of loopbacks you processed for the event with a Rejected processing status.
3. Click the row for the loopback you want to review.
4. Click the Details tab, 
   For each rejected row, the Status column shows  Rejected. 
5. Right-click the rejected loopback detail row, and then click Show Loopback Details.
   You see the Loopback Message tab and the Exception Details tab for the selected loopback details row.

6. Click the Exception Details tab. 
   The Exceptions Details tab provides a snapshot of what is in the rejection queue for this message. You see the following three tabs: 
   - Message Details. Provides information regarding the data elements and their associated values. Shows Tag ID, Name, and Value.
   - Message Text. Shows the cryptic tag/value data sent to the engine
   - Error. Describes the error that occurred.

7. When you review loopback details, you can do the following:
   - Override the loopback status
   - Print or export loopback data
   - Refresh loopback data
   - Close the rejection from the Exception Details
8. If you want to open the rejection queue, click Exceptions to open the Exceptions workspace and correct the problem that caused the rejection. 
   If you use Automation Center to run the global process, you can click the Show Exceptions option to open the rejection queue to display only the exceptions for a selected loopback detail.

The exact workflow you follow to research and resolve a rejected loopback depends on the reason the loopback was rejected, who is responsible for correcting the issue, and your organization's operations practices. Some examples illustrate this. 

In one example, the loopback fails due to a missing FX rate. You can see the error description for the loopback details in the Exception Details tab, along with message details. If authorized, you can use the Exceptions workspace to perform a Quick Fix for the event that needs repair, which supplies the missing rate and resubmits the rejected event. 

In a second example, the loopback fails due to a missing accounting period for the entity. You can see the error description for the loopback details in the Exception Details tab, You can add the missing accounting period in Accounting Center. You can use the global process panel or the Global Processes workspace to manually resubmit the global process and ensure it processes sucessfully.
