Header

The Header tab of the IET Transaction Code contains the common Header fields as described in the "Header" topic in the Transactions User Guide. The Header tab of the IET Transaction Code also contains the common Vendor fields as described in the "Vendor" topic in the Transactions User Guide. The following fields are not common to Header tabs.

As the IET performs two-party accounting, the ability to collect information on at least two different vendors/customers has to exist. The first of these two locations is on the Header to record information for the 1st party - the one designated as the 'Initiator’. Information in this tab is optional unless information is later entered for the 2nd party. The internal transactions require that information be entered for both or neither party. The IT transaction sub-type has an exception for this rule as intercept transfers are generated by the disbursement process with information on the 1st Party tab that comes from the disbursement transaction. When two Vendor/Customer codes are entered, both must be internal or both must be external.

If the Initiator is Seller/Provider, the 1st party has to be an active and approved vendor, if the 1st party Vendor/Customer information is not left blank. The 2nd party has to be an active and approved customer. In both cases, the vendor/customer code has to have a Payment address type.

If the Initiator is Buyer/Receiver, the 1st party has to be an active and approved customer, if the 1st party Vendor/Customer information is not left blank. The 2nd party has to be an active and approved vendor. In both cases, the vendor/customer code has to have a Payment address type.

Field Name	Required?	Field Description
Accounting Profile	Optional	This field is used for the generation of Vendor lines (Exchange Details) when the transaction is validated or submitted.
Expected Amount	Conditionally Required	This field is used to record the total amount anticipated for the transaction or the amount to be used to generate vendor lines based on an Accounting Profile or for both purposes. The amount can be used for both purposes. The amount can be required by the Transaction Total check box on Transaction Control (DCTRL).
Actual Amount	Calculated	A system calculated amount that is the summation of the Line Amount field on all Accounting lines.
Initiator	Required	A required field that enables the transaction to determine which component of the transaction contains the information for the Seller/Provider and which contains information for the Buyer/Receiver. There is no default, so one of the two choices must be made: Seller/Provider or Buyer/Receiver.
Delivery Date	Optional	An optional date used for internal purchases to indicate an anticipated or actual delivery date for informational purposes.
Additional Information	Optional	An optional field to record additional information about the transaction for reporting and identification purposes.
