Process

Report Start Date.

Specify the start date for the order. You can enter this date manually, or have the system calculate it using a backscheduling routine.

The routine starts with the required date and offsets the total lead time to calculate the appropriate start date.

The system uses today's date as the default value.

Number of time periods.

Specify a number (maximum of 54 periods) indicating the current accounting period.

This number, used in conjunction with the Company Constants table (F0010) and the General Constants table (F0009), enables the user to define up to 14 accounting periods.

The current period number is used to determine posted before and posted after cut off warning messages. It is also used as the default accounting period in the preparation of financial reports.

Number of past due weeks.

Specify the Weeks Worked.

Enter the number of past due weeks (0,1, or 2 weeks that are enabled and 0 is the default).

User-Defined Code.

Specify a code that identifies the table that contains user-defined codes.

The table is also referred to as a user-defined code type. Enter the UDC for the list row descriptions.
