Setting Up Periodic Billing Cycles

Access the Billing Frequency Code Revisions form.

Billing Frequency Code

Enter a user-defined value, a number or letter, that identifies how often the system generates billing records.

Fiscal Date Pattern

Enter a user-defined code from UDC table H00/DP that identifies a fiscal date pattern. You must set up special codes (letters A through N) for 4-4-5, 13-period accounting, or any other date pattern that is unique to the environment. The default value is R, that identifies a regular calendar pattern.
