163 FASB 13 Generation/Conversion

This chapter contains these topics:

Before the first time you use the automatic process to create FASB 13 entries for recurring billings, one of the following is assumed:

In either case, you must run the FASB 13 Generation/Conversion program to generate new FASB 13 adjustment entries. Therefore, it is only necessary to run this global update once. The program, which is based on the Tenant/Lease Master file (F1501), updates the Recurring Billings Master and FASB 13 Lease Control files (F1502 and F1513, respectively). A processing option controls whether the system performs the update or only prints a report so that you can preview the effect of the update.

The processing logic is very similar to the FASB 13 generation program. For more information, see the chapters Chapter 144, "FASB 13 Process" and Chapter 145, "FASB 13 Generation" in this guide. For a graphical overview of FASB 13, see Appendix C, "FASB 13 Graphical."

Caution:

Before you run the update, carefully review the selections in the DREAM Writer version.
