On Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) 7.5, General Ledger (GL):

Q1: When is EFFECTIVE_T populated in the JOURNAL_T table in the following scenarios?

1. With SegregateJournalsByGLPeriod enabled in bus_params_billing.xml
2. With SegregateJournalsByGLPeriod disabled in bus_params_billing.xml
 

Q2: Please clarify the following:

1. Is the above handling of EFFECTIVE_T for one-time charges only?
2. How is EFFECTIVE_T populated for monthly cycle forward events prior to PS17 and post PS17 with SegregateJournalsByGLPeriod disabled/enabled?
3. Once the feature is enabled, the following tests were performed, are these the expected results:
   3a. A one-time event (purchase fee event) having END_T as 10-Oct was generated on 10-Oct, which would create a JOURNAL_T entry with EFFECTIVE_T = 1-Oct-2017.
   3b. A one-time event (purchase fee event) having END_T as 1-Nov was generated on 1-Nov, which would create a new JOURNAL_T entry with EFFECTIVE_T = 1-Nov-2017.
   3c. A one-time event (purchase fee event) having END_T as 31-Oct was generated on 1-Nov, which would update existing JOURNAL_T entry with EFFECTIVE_T = 1-Oct-2017.
