Configure G/L account determination for all FI-CA transactions (revenues, receivables, taxes, cash clearing, etc.). Support period-end closing activities, including the reconciliation of sub-ledger to general ledger. Assist in the design of the unbilled revenue reporting process by configuring the accrual/deferral engine based on input from mass billing simulations.
