1.3.6 Accounting Calendar Specifications

Each record in the CA MICS Accounting and Chargeback Journal,
Ledger, Debit, Credit, and Financial Recap files contains a
date in the CA MICS calendar and a date in the accounting
calendar.  These dates are carried in the DAY, MONTH, YEAR,
ACTDAY, ACTMONTH, and ACTYEAR variables, depending on the
level of summarization.  For example, DAY is not kept in the
MONTHS and YEARS timespans, and MONTH is not kept in the
YEARS timespan.

Normally, files are aged according to the CA MICS calendar
date, but you can override this and specify that they should
be aged by the accounting calendar dates instead.  This is
called the "Special Accounting Dates" option.

The default accounting calendar is the same as the CA MICS
calendar, but you can override this and define your own
accounting calendar.

You specify the Accounting Calendar Specifications in the
Accounting Options panel.
