Generalized Statement Selection

 

Name

Type and Description

1. Starting Specification No

3 numeric digits. Enter the starting specifications no. range, or press RETURN to default to All specifications.

2. Ending Specification No

3 numeric digits. Enter the ending specifications no. range, or press RETURN to default to the same value as entered for the starting specification number.

3. Select Consolidated                   Statements?

Y or N.  RETURN defaults to N.

 For purposes of this accounting package, a consolidated statement is understood to be a statement for which all accounts, regardless of profit center or financial entity designation, are included.

 This would be the statement for the entire company.

 When the question Select Consolidated Statements? is answered Y, specifications for which All profit centers have been chosen are selected to be printed on the next run. Conversely, if the question is answered N, any specification with All for the profit center designation will be passed over.

 This feature allows you to very quickly select from the specifica­tions you have on file those that pertain to consolidated company activity.

4. Select Statements for                 Financial Entity

5 alphanumeric characters. Press the F1 key to default to ALL financial entities (i.e., all specifications within a non-blank entity).

 The financial entity is looked up on the Financial Entity File, and the description is automatically displayed. The entry will not be allowed if the entity is not on file.

 Similar considerations apply here as do for the entry for 5 below.

 If you wish to select statements for a specific profit center, enter the number of that profit center here. All specifications within the range that you entered with that profit center's designation will be selected.

 For example, if you wish to print out all statements and supporting schedules for profit center 0010, you must enter 0010 in this field. In order for the entry to be accepted, profit center 0010 must be defined in the G/L Account File. Refer to the Run Instructions for G/L Account File Maintenance if you are not sure how to do this.

 Pressing the RETURN key here defaults the entry to All. This means that all specifications with the designation of a particular profit center will be selected. This is not to be confused with the selection of consolidated statements.

For instance, there are specifications on file for three profit centers (00100, 00200 and 00300) as well as specifications for consolidated statements. All specifications for profit centers 00100, 00200 and 00300 would be selected.

 Specifications for consolidated statements (All profit centers) would be ignored, as well as specifications for specific financial entities.

 This feature allows you to select from the file of Statement Speci­fications each and every financial statement and supporting schedule that pertains to a specific profit center without requiring you to step through the entire file in change mode to set the Print Next Run? response to Y for the desired specifications.
