5.3 Running Yearly Processes


The yearly split and aging of the Ledger File is accomplished
in each database unit at the same time that the yearly
CA MICS product files are split.  However, if the Special
Accounting Dates feature has been activated, you must run the
YEARACT job to split the Ledger Files.  Other than use of the
YEARLY or YEARACT jobs, there are no major steps to follow at
year end.  The items that follow are for your information:

o The Year-to-Date Financial Recap File is aged during the
  second accounting period when the CLOSETBL job is submitted
  from the sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL library.

o The Budget File (ACTBGT00) records are transferred to the
  ACTBGT01 file based on the Budget Effective Date variable
  (BGTDATE) value.  When the date is reached, the records are
  transferred when the CLOSETBL job is submitted from the
  sharedprefix.MICS.CNTL library.

o You can use IS Revenue Projection and Rate Analysis to
  download the current year's data to the workstation and
  project next year's revenue and budgets.


OBJECTIVES

The accounting administrator's objectives for yearly
processing are to perform the following:

o Confirm that the new budgets are entered into the Budget
  File (ACTBGT00) with a BGTDATE value that allows the
  CLOSETBL job to transfer them to the ACTBGT01.

o When the second accounting period is reached, ensure that
  the year-to-date charges for the new fiscal year are on the
  reports that show year-to-date charges.

o If you change rates at year end, make sure the new rates
  are placed in effect at year end.

YEARLY PROCESSING CHECKLIST

Follow this checklist to ensure that standard yearly
processing was successful.

 __  1. Ensure that the yearly update completed successfully
        for all databases in which CA MICS Accounting and
        Chargeback is installed.  This is normally
        accomplished by the YEARLY job that is submitted by
        the CA MICS System Administrator. However, if you
        activated the Special Accounting Dates feature:

        o  Submit prefix.MICS.CNTL(YEARACT) by using Option
           5;1 from the Installation Accounting Primary
           Options Menu.  Run the job after the special
           accounting period closes.  This job ages the
           Ledger Files when you are using a special
           accounting period.

        It is not necessary for the CA MICS YEARLY job to run
        before year-end accounting processing can proceed.

 __ 2.  If this is the final reporting period for the year,
        you must update the Budget File (ACTBGT) prior to the
        end of the next accounting period.  Select Option 1;3
        from the Installation Accounting Primary Options
        menu.

 __ 3.  If this is the final reporting period for the year,
        you may want to use IS Revenue Projection and Rate
        Analysis to project your revenue for the next
        financial year.  Extract the data for the workstation
        by selecting Option 4;5;1;2 from the Installation
        Accounting Primary Options Menu.
