Processing Options

In addition to setting the escalation generation date, which the system uses to retrieve the current index, process escalation calculations, and assign the general ledger date, processing options also enable you to:

• Specify the date to use to retrieve estimated billing records from the Customer Ledger or Accounts Payable Ledger tables and whether to exclude the estimated amounts from catch-up billings.

• Specify the GL date to assign to the catch-up billing records if you want to use the escalation generation date.

• Specify the date for retrieving the current index if you do not want to use the month prior to the escalation date.

• Specify the date to assign to the recurring billing records that the system generates when you run the Escalation Update Without Post program (R15152).

• Specify whether to make an adjustment to the periodic billing amount when the lease is set up for less than a full year.

• Specify the version of the Escalation Calculation Register program (R1548) to print.

  The R1548 program prints the information that the system used to calculate the escalation amount, so that you can review the information before you generate recurring billing records and post any catch-up billing records.
