Revenue Billing - REV360

This program creates invoices for all Revenue owners with pay balances less than zero, that are set up for netting in the Owner Netting (REV350) program, and generates accounting transactions to the General Ledger. Prior to running this process, JIB Detail needs to be transferred to the Revenue (JIB275) program, Revenue Distribution processed in the Revenue Gross Sales Distribution (REV180) program, and a Revenue Billing Analysis report printed in the Revenue Billing Analysis (REV355) program.

First, enter a company ID and period end date. The system verifies the company and period end date you specified to be sure that the period is open for the company and the Revenue system. For more information, refer to the Accounting Period Control Maintenance (COM126) program. The company and period end date display for verification, the system checks all gross sales for error-free calculation and distribution, and checks the previous billing process for duplicate runs in the same period end. If it detects any of the above conditions, an appropriate message displays.

The system always automatically runs the Update DSL JIB.NET.GROUP (REV351) program prior to (REV360).

(REV351) updates the Detail Sales Ledger so that the Revenue Billing Process processes the correct (and current) netting groups.

The output from the invoice print program (REV360) is sent to the hold file (not printed). Use the Report Manager to print the invoices.

Next, the system generates the Revenue accounting transactions. For a detailed explanation of the requirements, refer to the Account Control (REV140) program. The program that is used to create the accounting entries is (REV280), which is the same program used to create the accounting entries when Revenue Checks are processed.

If, during invoice processing, the program encounters a Revenue Account Control File item that has not been set up or a missing or incorrectly set up JIB Netting File item, an error message displays.

It is impossible to exit from this message. You must go to another PC and set up the Account Control or JIB Netting item that you need. The error message that displays shows exactly which item is missing.
