Symptoms

An InterUnit Transfer (IUT) for Group Assets between 2 Asset Management (AM) Business Units (BU) that are both defined to the same General Ledger (GL) Business Unit does not generate the General Ledger Balancing entries in the ps_dist_ln table. This IUT is an IntraUnit Transfer from the standpoint of GL. When an IUT for Group Assets occurs between 2 AM BUs and 2 GL BUs, the GL Balancing Entries are generated. This IUT is an InterUnit Transfer from the standpoint of GL


It is expected that GL Balancing entries will be created for the IUT between Group IDs in the following configuration:  

AM BU US003 to US103
GL  BU US003 to US003

The GL Balancing entries are created successfully for the IUT between Group IDs in the following configuration:  

AM BU US003 to US103
GL  BU US003 to US103


The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Set Up the GL Ledger Group for IntraUnit Transfer.
2. Set up the AM BU 1 to point to the GL BU 1. Set up the AM BU 2 to point to the GL BU 1.
3. Create Group ID 1 in AM BU 1 and Group ID 2 in AM BU 2.
4. Create Group Member Asset 1 in Group ID 1.
5. Consolidate and Depreciate Group ID 1.
6. Perform an IUT to transfer Group Member Asset 1 in Group ID 1 to Group Member Asset 2 in Group ID 2.
7. Consolidate and Depreciate Group ID 1.
8. Create Accounting Entries for Group ID 1, Group Member Asset 1, and Group Member Asset 2.
9. Verify the results in the ps_dist_ln table. This is the scenario that results in no GL Balancing entries generated.  
10. Rerun the above with changes to point 2:  Set up the AM BU 2 to point to the GL BU 2.
11. Run steps 3 - 8.
12. Verify the results in the ps_dist_ln table. This is the scenario that results in  GL Balancing entries being generated.
