Maintain Region Control Groups
Current Month Carry Over/Un-Carry Over
This functionality is helpful if you are unable to close the control group, i.e., typically when revenue information is not available by the month-end deadline for partner-operated properties. In the past, you would have to close using estimates and then schedule control group amendments to book actuals. Current monthĀ Carry OverĀ saves you from having to book financials. This means that you do not have to complete the control group to Step 07 or do a preliminary/final interface. Therefore, this control group will not appear on any voucher for the current accounting month. Qbyte Metrix will automatically request and schedule an amendment for each carried over control group for the now previous month.
If prior to the Region Close in the current month it is determined that the control group is no longer required to be carried over, the control group can be changed toĀ Un-Carry Over.
In the Edit screen, it is possible to select a control group(s) and carry/un-carry over Month End processing for the control groups within the region in the current month. This applies if you have security access (see theĀ Security Note below) and the appropriate Function Implementation flag set up. You can select a single or multiple control groups from the Control Groups In RegionĀ grid to be carried over/un-carried over.
If you do not have the Corporate LevelĀ Security Component enabled, then only the control groups you are authorized to (CarryOverAuthCurrentMonthĀ enabled) can be carried over/un-carried over.
For more information about carrying over a current month, see:
Ā
Moving Control Groups Between Regions
Once a region has been created, control groups can be associated to it. A control group can only be associated with one region inĀ one Production Date. Control groups are automatically associated with regions when control groups are created (based on the region you are in when the control group was created). However, it is possible to change the control group's association to a region here.
1.Ā ClickĀ EditĀ to make changes to the control groups in this region.
2. Select the groups you want to move and click the Add Selected button.
3. Save.
Ā
Financial Groups
A Financial Group is essentially a group of control groups that you want to process together. It is mainly used to correctly process financial transactions for units that span more than one control group. It is also recommended to configure financial groups if you are utilizingĀ Intergroup Oil Transfer functionality.
Ā
Region Close History
The information on thisĀ tab provides youĀ with basic details of all the control groups (Current Month and Amendments) that were included when the regionĀ was closed for a specific Production/Accounting Date.
The AccountingĀ Date on this screen will always be the accounting date that corresponds to the ProductionĀ Date displayed above the grid.
The original Accounting Date the control group was closed on will always have an Amendment Status of No.
For amendments, the Amendment column will be set to Yes.
Carry Over columns will be set to Yes/NoĀ (depending on whether the control group/region was carried over or not).
To learn more about how to carry over a current month by closing it without completing the financial booking, see:
You can then enter your own comments in the Amendment/Carry Over Reason column.
The screen is sorted by AccountingĀ Date in descending order, the amendment in ascending order (shows all current month control groups first), and Production Date in descending order.
