Understanding Escalation Billing Calculations
After you set up the escalation information, you run the Escalation Billing Generation program (R15150) to calculate the escalation amount and the catch-up billing amount, if necessary. When you run R15150 program, the system:
Generates a batch of calculation records in the Escalation Billing Register table (F1548B), including the catch-up billing amount, unless it is bypassed.
Generates a record in the Batch Control Records table (F0011) and the Lease Billings Master table (F1511B) for the catch-up billing amount, unless it is bypassed.
The system assigns the value from the Bill Code field (GLC) in the escalation information to the catch-up billing record.
Updates these fields in the Tenant Escalation Master table (F15016B):
Last Start Month
Last Start Year
Last End Month
Last End Year
Last Index
Last Basis
Generates a record in the Billings Generation Control Master table (F15011) for generation type 4 and updates the first billing period to G based on the values in the Next Month (NPSM) and Next Year (NPSY) fields of the escalation information record.
Locks the escalation information record to protect it from revision.
Because the escalation information record provides an audit trail for the escalation calculation, the system does not allow revisions to the information after the escalation calculation is processed. To revise the escalation information for future escalation processing, you must enter a new record and suspend the old record.
Automatically runs the Billing Edit Register program (R15300).
(Release 9.2 Update) The R15300 has been updated to determine if billing records should be included in the revenue recognition process. The program compares the information on the billing transaction to the revenue recognition trigger configuration, and if the record should be included in the revenue recognition process, the system validates that the appropriate AAIs and accounts are set up.
