This screen is used to select parameters for period end processing.  This batch function analyzes any activity that occurred since the last posting run of the period end process but before the period end date of the current accounting period, or before the specified cutoff date.

The period end processing generates the Work-In-Process Summary report, the Labor, Burden and Miscellaneous Cost Worksheets and the General Ledger Distribution Summary and Detail reports.

TRIAL RUN

Required.  Must be either Y or N.  An entry of 'Y' indicates that the run is a trial. A trial run may be performed as many times as desired during a period; it will generate journal entries and reports but will not pass any information to the General Ledger or update any master files.

LOCK FILES

Required.  Must be either Y or N.  Enter 'Y' to request that the files be exclusively allocated.  If the lock files option is set to No, the program will run without exclusively allocating files.  This option cannot be 'N' unless the Trial Run field is set to 'Y'.

POST RUN

Required.  Must be either N, D, or F.  An entry of 'N' indicates that the post run is not requested.  An entry of 'D' indicates that the demand post is requested.  An entry of 'F' indicates that the final post is requested.  This field cannot be 'N' if the Trial Run field is 'N' and it cannot be 'D' or 'F' if the Trial Run field is 'Y'.

CUTOFF DATE

Optional.  This field can either be blank or contain a valid date that is not greater than the system date or the accounting cost effectivity date.  If the Post Run field is 'F', it should be blank.  If the Post Run field is 'D', this field should not be blank.  If the trial post is 'Y', the cutoff date can be blank or filled in.  It will be used in determining transactions that should be processed during the IA period end run.

DATA AUDIT

Optional.  This field allows you to request that the data audit run before the IA period end processing.  Valid values are either 'Y' or 'N'.  If the data audit option is set to 'Y', IA period end processing will call the data audit program.  If the data audit program finds any errors, IA period end processing will not continue.  (The data audit program looks for missing information that will cause aborts in the IA period end process.)

YEAR-END LIFO REPORT

Required.  Must be either Y or N.  Enter 'Y' to request that the Year-End LIFO Report be generated.  The report may be run during a posting run only.  The report is used to determine the year-end LIFO adjustments, based on user-input base prices and replacement costs.  The adjusted values can be used as a guide for posting manual adjustments to start-of-year inventory values.

REQUESTOR

Optional.  Ensures the report will be distributed to the person/department responsible for this request.

LAST MO PROCESSED

Displayed only if program IA130E aborted during IA period end processing.  If this field is displayed, all fields on this screen will be display only, and F4 will not be allowed and not displayed.  This field is composed of the plant and the MO number.  This is the last MO that IA130E was processing when it aborted.  This field is retrieved from Reference File category N26.

COMMAND KEYS

Enter - Records the request and returns you to the Inventory Accounting Menu.

F2    - Display a window where a fast path option or mnemonic can be entered.  Fast path allows the next menu selection to be made directly from this screen.  When the window is displayed, pressing F3 will remove it.

F3    - Exit the program without update.

F4    - Display a list of values for the field where the cursor is positioned.  If you select one of the items from the list, it will be returned to the application screen.
