Prerequisites

You have created a cycle or changed an existing one. There are now additional functions available within cycle maintenance for the processing of cycles.

Procedure

Formal Cycle Checks

You can carry out a formal check of the cycle at any time. This lets you identify errors in the cycle definition at an early stage.

1. To check the entire cycle, choose Formal check or Cycle ® Formal check.

The system checks:

a. The cycle entered against the master data.

b. Whether the sender has been credited fully (100%). To do this, the system adds up the values in all segments. If the sender has not been credited fully (100%), the system issues a warning message.

c. Whether the sender/receiver amounts or quantities agree if, under segment values and the tracing factor, you selected rule 2 (fixed amounts or fixed quantities). The system warns you if the amounts or quantities for the senders and receivers do not agree. The system then overwrites the fixed sender values with the sum of the fixed receiver values.

Note

The formal check is not a complete check. It does not guarantee that you can carry out the cycle without errors. You can only check this if you start the cycle on the Cycle Processing initial screen in the Test run.

2. The system issues a message after the check to inform you whether the check was closed successfully or not. To view the error log, choose Extras ® Error log.

The system displays any error messages in a dialog box, separated according to segments. Double click on an error message to go to the long text.

 

Saving Cycles

You can save a cycle with or without executing a check.

  1. To save a cycle without a check, choose Cycle ® Save cycle ® Without check.

    2. You can also save a cycle, even if it is incomplete or if errors occurred during the formal check, which you want to remove at a later date.

  2. To save cycle with a check, choose Cycle ® Save cycle ® With check.

Before you save the cycle, the system executes the same checks as for Formal check. If errors occur during the check, the system issues an error log and does not save the cycle.

 

Printing Cycles

  1. Choose Cycle ® Print to print the entries for a cycle.
  2. Specify a printer and the number of copies, then choose Print.

    3. The system prints the entries for each cycle and the individual segments on individual sheets.

  3. You also have the option of printing the entries for a cycle in compressed format. Choose Cycle ® Print compressed.
  4. Specify a printer and the number of copies, then choose Print.

The system prints the entries for the cycle and the corresponding segments on one sheet.

 

Deleting Cycles

  1. To delete the entire cycle you are currently processing, choose Cycle ® Delete.
  2. Answer the confirmation prompt with Yes.

The system deletes the cycle and you return to the Cycle Maintenance initial screen.

Note

You can access the Delete cycle function from the cycle overview display.

 

Processing Other Cycles

  1. To process another cycle of the same allocation type, choose Cycle ® Other cycle.

    2. You access the Cycle Maintenance initial screen of the same allocation type.

  2. To create a new cycle of this allocation type, choose Cycle ® Create.
