Month End

Processes:

• Generate WIP Accruals:
  WIP Reversal process:
  Changes were made to the WIP and WIP reversal processes. The WIP reversal process was generating empty WIP Accrual reversal batches, due to the system not allowing the more than one entry for the same Job, YearNo, PeriodNo combination. This was preventing the generation of the WIP Accrual reversal records.

  Additionally, when generating WIP Accruals the process was incorrectly removing all existing WIP records for the period. This has been rectified as opening reversals records need to be kept.
  
  In Summary:

  • Removed the unique index so you can have a WIP accrual and a reversal in the same period.

  • The WIP generation no longer deletes reversals in the same period.
    

...

• Intercompany auto-generated batches:
  When the Intercompany process which generates AP and AR invoices on intercompany batches runs, if there are errors due to incorrect configuration and setup, the system will now display those errors so a user can action and fix the setup so intercompany entries are generated successfully.
