0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Accounting
entries message (ENTREC) to be used in Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional definition
A message used to exchange accounting entries between an
enterprise and whoever may use them for the purpose of
accounting, auditing, cost accounting, consolidation, financial
analysis, etc.
1.2 Field of application
The Accounting entries message may be used for both national
and international applications. It is based on universal
practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and
is not dependent on the type of business or industry.
1.3 Principles
The accounting entries may be prepared by an enterprise, a
service bureau, a chartered accountant or an auditor - referred
to as sender - for various parties - known as recipients - such
as another enterprise, another service bureau, another
chartered accountant or another auditor.
The accounting entries are reflecting the activity of the
enterprise. Merged with the chart of accounts, they enable to
establish the ledger and consequently the trial balance.
The term accounting entries is taken to mean a set of automated
accounting records relating to the same event. A computerized
accounting record is an accounting entry item consisting of
several logically interrelated data items specifying the value
date of an amount, its origin, its account concerned, its debit
or credit amount and its references to the relevant document.
The message ENTREC contains information concerning a set of
entries for a given journal and period. The frequency of
collected data ranges from daily to annually.
