Note: The timeline for Transact changes is under review due to Ascend 2.0 change efforts being placed on hold.
What's Changing?
As a result of the Ascend 2.0 Initiative, we expect two major components of Emarkets to change.
Department code will become financial unit in the Transact system. Because Transact Emarkets use department codes, this data point needs to be mapped to the future state financial units.
Full Accounting Units (FAUs) will become Chart of Accounts (COAs). Because Transact Emarkets use FAUs this data point needs to be mapped to the future state COAs.
Below are examples of current state Emarket fields and how they are expected to be retrofitted to the new financial system.
