Procedures

1.   Display the Sales Statistics Post Request Screen.

Select the option on the Sales Analysis Menu to display the Sales Statistics Post Request Detail Screen.

2.   Post Interim transactions.

To do this, request a demand post transaction by entering a 'Y' in the Demand Post field.  Then specify which report (Month End Sales by Customer Class, or Month End Sales by Product Class) you wish to generate.  Once your selection is made, press the Enter key.  All current sales transactions will be posted to the Sales Analysis File, and the Sales Summary File once the batch posting job has finished executing.

3.   Post Final transactions.

To do this, request a final post transaction by entering a 'Y' in the Final Post field.  Then specify which report (Month End Sales by Customer Class, or Month End Sales by Product Class) you wish to generate.

Note:    Once a final post is performed, Month End reports can no longer be generated, so it should be a routine practice to generate both reports before a final post.

Once your selection is made, press the Enter key.  All current sales transactions are posted to the master files once the batch posting job has finished processing.

Note:    The posting job will only be shown as pending on the Sales Analysis Processing Menu if one of the posting methods has been selected on the submit screen (i.e., Demand Post = Y or Final Post = Y).
