Pre-Scrubber Function

The 'Scrubber' also includes a pre-scrubber function that can be used to complete Chart of Account code values for entries that do not contain them. This function will be used only if your institution has decided not to allow the same account number to be used on multiple Charts of Accounts (Financials-SYS ACCOUNTS_CAN_CROSS_CHARTS_IND parameter must be set to 'N'). In this case a special step will complete the Chart of Accounts code on incoming transactions if it is blank. Note that the pre-scrubber will not correct invalid chart/account combinations (these will become 'Scrubber' errors) and will not complete the Chart of Accounts field if the supplied account number is invalid.

If an error is encountered during any part of the validation process, the associated document(s) are not posted. Instead, error records are placed in the ScrbErr file (For more information about this file and other files generated by the GL batch processes, see Accounting Cycle.) This file can be retrieved using a GL Correction Process (GLCP) document. This process allows for the manual correction of errors so the associated documents may be re-posted in a future batch cycle.
