Business Benefits
When producing Sales reports, it is essential that the Sales Periods remain fixed (equivalent to the General Ledger fiscal Periods). Also, you may wish to prevent inventory transactions after either the Client's or the Company's month-end date. This program allows you to identify these dates.
Note: For related documentation and workflows, see WP - Warehouse Profile.
Usage
Use this job to ensure that all the necessary files have been set up for the Sales Period.
It also allows you to lock the inventory, to prevent inventory transactions after either the Client's or the Company's month-end.
Print: There is no option in this program to print the values that are displayed on the screen.
Preconditions
The Sales Period dates must correspond to the fiscal Period-end dates set up in program GL.90 [Fiscal Dates].
Subsequent Actions
Once the Sales Period dates have been established, you may start producing your Sales reports.
If you lock the inventory, Receipt, Order, and Adjustment dates are checked against the Client's last month-end date and the Company's month-end date.
