Understanding Contract Workfile Generation
From the Periodic Contract Processing menu (G1724), select Service Contract Workfile Generation.
When you run the Service Contract Workfile Generation program (R1732), the system processes records in the Contract Detail table (F1721) and creates billing records in the Billing Detail Workfile table (F4812).
The system gathers records based on processing options, user data selections, company, fiscal date patterns, and the billing frequencies and dates from the Contract Detail table. When you run the generation program in final mode, the system creates records in the Service Billing workfile. Then the Service Billing system creates workfile transactions that are the basis for the Accounts Receivable and General Accounting systems. To bill and invoice a contract detail line, you must run the generation program in final mode. The system calculates the taxes during the workfile generation.
After you generate the contract workfile, you must continue the standard billing process, which includes:
Generating the invoice workfile using the Service Billing Invoice Generation program (P48121).
Printing invoices.
Generating the Invoice Journal using the Journal Generation program (R48131).
Creating AR and GL entries using the Create A/R Entries program (R48199).
Posting the AR and GL entries using the standard General Ledger Post Report program (R09801).
