Enter Update Parameters
Explanation
This activity is used to specify the various control
parameters used in the update routine, such as permitted difference, number of levels
in automatic posting, and number of days in the update history. It must also be
specified whether a period allocation voucher should be created for
the base period when period allocation is done. This is normally done before starting
the updating routine the first time.
Prerequisites
Before the information can be entered, the following must have been completed:
- The company must exist in IFS Financials.
System Effects
As a result of the entry, the updating routine will be performed according to
these parameters. E.g., if it is specified that a period allocation voucher should
be created for the source voucher's period, when updating General Ledger and Internal
Ledger, a period allocation voucher will be created for the base period as well.
