Getting the data to make Financial Edge Cash Receipts work

We're new to Tessitura and are struggling to get the information out of the system that we need to post to the Cash Receipts module in Financial Edge. The Posting Report doesn't provide enough detail; and to make the Income by Payment Method report work, it seems we'd need to add each credit account GL as a designation code in the TR_DESIG_CODE system table, which is less than ideal in our consortium setting (we have tons of GL numbers).

I'm told using the Cash Receipts module in Financial Edge, which is what we've done for the last 2 years, requires us to know what amount was credited to each GL based on the debit account GL. For example, if $1,000 was debited to the Credit Card asset account GL, how much of that was credited to:

  • Ticket Fees GL for Perf 1 
  • Ticket Revenue GL for Perf 1
  • Ticket Fees GL for Perf 2
  • Ticket Revenue GL for Perf 2
  • Etc.

What are others doing? Switching accounting systems isn't an option, but any advice on making Financial Edge work so we can post things to the GL would be greatly appreciated.

    We upload data from Tessitura to Financial Edge using the Posting Summary Report in the Finance folder. That method does not upload each transaction but it does provide the detail our Finance department wants.  I’d be happy to talk to you about how we do that. I’m out of the office tomorrow (July 28) but will be back on July 29, then gone again thru August 3. Call me if you would like an explanation.
