Estimated E.P. Generation Program (R15102)

If you prefer not to generate estimated expense participation billings at the time that you generate actual billings, or if you want to use a different calculation batch than was generated for the actual billings, you run the Estimated E.P. Generation program (R15102). You can run this program for any calculation batch, regardless of its generation type. For example, if the calculation batch was generated for actual billings (generation type 2), you can still use that batch to generate estimated billings.

When you run the R15102 program, the system:

• Retrieves the calculation record from the E.P. Billing Register table (F1538B).

• Generates a record for each expense class in the Estimated EP Recurring Billings worktable (F1502WB).

• Generates a record for each expense class in the Billings Generation Control table (F15011B), if necessary, and updates the appropriate Bill Period field to B.

  Note:

  If you generated the calculations for estimated expenses (generation type 6), the records already exist in the F15011B table and the system merely updates the Bill Period field from G to B.

  If you generated the calculations for actual expenses (generation type 2), the system creates the F15011B records for the estimated expenses when you run this program.

You can use processing options to specify the batch number for the associated calculation batch and to enter the rate of inflation. Additionally, you can specify a version number so that the system automatically runs the Estimated E.P. Edit/Update program (R15113) in proof mode to generate a report. If you do not specify a version number for the R15113 program, the system does not print a report of the records it generates in the F1502WB table.

The system generates estimated billing amounts based on the billing frequency from the calculation record.
