58.1 Updating Commitment Information

You use the following DREAM Writer programs to update commitment information. Both the Homebuilder Management and Subcontract Management systems use these programs.

  • Create Commitment Audit Trail. You use this program to create audit trail records for your contracts. You run this program to rebuild records if you purged them from your system or to create records for new contracts you add to your system.

  • Purge Commitment Audit Trail. You use this program to purge commitment audit trail records from the Purchase Order Detail Ledger table (F43199). You run this program if the system builds your commitment audit trail information incorrectly.

  • Post Committed Costs to Jobs. You must run the Post Committed Costs to Jobs program if your commitment balances do not match your audit trail records. This program updates the Account Balances table with amounts and units for committed cost. You should always run this program after you run the Create Commitment Audit Trail program. You should also run it if your commitment balances do not match the commitment audit trail records in the Purchase Order Detail Ledger table. You run this program only after you post all payment vouchers to the general ledger.

  • Restate Commitments. You use this program to recalculate contract commitments in a foreign currency if the original exchange rate changes from rate that you set when you entered your commitment information. You run the Restate Commitments program to change the exchange rate of select contracts and recalculate the domestic commitment amounts.
