Tonight Kris and I met with the SAP team about the critical issues we
discussed in the meeting this morning. As far as Xref1 (coordinator) and Xref2 (physical vs. financial flag) fields go, it appears that we are getting what we have to have in order to go live 7/1. Rena was working on a spec (the OSS that was discussed) that would automatically populate these 2 fields. However, the test was unsuccessful. These two fields are being opened up for netting, so we can input them manually when netting. I believe we need to pursue the auto fill post 7/1, but the first priority is having a place to put the data. As far as settlement period is concerned, we are probably going to get a hybrid of what we want at this time. The SAP team does appear to have appropriate resources working on this issue. For data created in SAP, I am more comfortable that the data is being captured on the income statement side of the entry, and the SAP folks now seem to think they can link over to it to get the settlement data. For data converted, we will not be able to get the settlement period in the same manner. The offsetting entry in conversion is to a dummy conversion account rather than an income statement account. The dummy account doesn't carry the settlement date. Another issue is related to the indicator to let us know if an invoice has had cash applied or
