Period or Summary Functions

Period Processing (Summary Functions) handles those conditions that cannot be handled at a detail level. That is, after charge elements have been calculated. This processing updates the CA PMA Chargeback tables.

Period Processing, as with detail functions, is controlled by the tables generated and maintained by the Table Maintenance functions' online component. Summary Functions include Overhead Distribution, Cost Recovery, Rate Determination, Forecasting, Invoicing, Period Open, and Period Close. Forecasting results can be viewed online; while batch processing is provided for efficient handling of data.
