Features

Selection

You specify which accounting documents you want to process and select Process Documents. When you execute the program, it determines the offsetting accounts for all the documents it can. To do so, it first splits each accounting document into smaller documents, if necessary (see Document Split). It then determines the offsetting accounts (see the example).

Output

The program lists all of the selected accounting documents. The Document Processed column shows which documents the program determined the offsetting accounts for.

To check which offsetting accounts the program determined for a given document, position the cursor on a document number and choose Display Offsetting Accounts.
If the program did not determine any offsetting accounts for a given document, or if you want to change the accounts the program determined, position the cursor on the document number and choose Change Offsetting Accounts.
The program then calls the manual offsetting account determination program, and you can enter the offsetting accounts there. For more information, see Determining Offsetting Accounts Manually.

Activities

We recommend that the system administrator schedules this program to run every night. The next day, each accounting clerk can check his accounting documents.
