DEBIT Statement

The DEBIT statement is optional and similar to the CREDIT statement. It supplements the accounting algorithm defined on the RATE and PRIORITY statements. Debits may be manually introduced to CA JARS to be applied to a specific job or summarization level (account, department, project, and so forth.). Some typical uses for the DEBIT statement are:

• charge for dedicated online devices
• introduce tape and disk rental costs
• bill specific accounts for other edp functions used

The DEBIT statement format and processing is identical to that of the CREDIT statement. The only difference is in the use of the amount field.

The debit amount, in dollars, is carried by CA JARS and made available for display as DE ID 80 in the Sequenced Output Data Elements Table. The debit amount also affects the total charge (DE ID 46), distributed charge (DE ID 47), and percent totals (DE ID 41 and 42) at any level of display. The following are examples of typical DEBIT statement setups:

The first two DEBIT statements for Report A are to be applied against CPU identification 6. The account number AAA, is assumed to be in the first three characters of the Accounting fields information. The current September billing is to include the Debit Amounts of $60.00 and $50.00, to be charged against account AAA for the rental of disks and tapes, respectively.

The third DEBIT statement for Report A reflects a $225.00 charge against the same account for block time rental started at 13.30 on September 15, 1998.
