A Commodity Ticket records purchases from farmers. When the transaction status is changed to “Ready to Post,” an AP Invoice will be sent to the host system for the AP Vendor associated with the Farmer on the Commodity Ticket, if the Integration Setup for CP Ticket is set to Timed/Immediate. For positive items on the Commodity Ticket, the Crop's Purchase account will be debited for the amount of the item and the vendor's accounts payable account will be credited. For positive charges, the vendor's accounts payable account will be debited the amount of the charge and the credit account assigned to the charge will be credited. For positive accruals, the accrual's expense account will be debited for the amount of the accrual and the accruals' credit account will be credited. For negative values, these distributions will be opposite. 

Note: These integrations will only occur if the Commodity Procurement module preference for 'Enable Real Time Integration' is set to 'Yes' . and the Integration Setup for CP Ticket is set to Timed/Immediate.

9: Finalizing the Transaction in NorthScope

Changes can be made to a transaction until it is finalized. To finalize a transaction, the user will need to change the status to “Ready to Post”. In some companies, posting is a two-step process where the transaction(s) are approved by one person, and posted by another.

...

Prior to this, the host system does not know about the transaction.

...

Note: The transaction is only posted to the Host system, when the Integration Setup for CP Ticket is set to Timed/Immediate. If the Integration Setup is set to None, the transaction status is set to "Posted" when saved as "Ready to Post".

Step 10: Posting the Commodity Ticket's components in the host system

...

For every Commodity Ticket in NorthScope, either a journal entry or an AP Invoice will be sent to the host system. This is determined by the Farmer selected on the Commodity Ticket. Each farmer in NorthScope is assigned a Settle Method. If the farmer's settle method is 'AP Invoice', the farmer's Commodity Tickets will send AP Invoices to the host system upon posting. If the farmer's settle method is 'GL Accrual', the farmer's Commodity Tickets will create NorthScope journal entries that will be sent to the host system. 

...

Note: Although this step is required, it does not need to be done for each transaction. Posting can be done nightly or as needed.
