Understanding As Of Processing

As of processing enables you to run summary and detail reports for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable system as of a certain date rather than at runtime, supporting the GL account balances that are reported at period end. Because period-end data entry typically occurs for several days into the next period, and next-period data entry can begin before period-end, a significant difference exists between as of data and real-time data.

Before printing and reviewing these reports, you must run the Date File Generation report (R04901A) to generate a complete picture of the F0411 table as of a specific date. After you generate the file as of a specific period of time, you can compare the Accounts Payable transaction open balance with the balance of the AP Trade Account for the same period of time. These two balances should match if all of the transactions are posted to the general ledger and the trade account has been updated properly.

Auditors find these reports especially useful because they can run them for any period of time if the date file has been generated.

You can also use as of reports to help resolve problems that you might encounter with your data.
