Defining Accounts and Retrieving Basis Amounts Manually

Access the Retrieve Forecast Basis form.

To manually define accounts and retrieve basis amounts:

1. On Retrieve Forecast Basis, complete the header fields.

2. Select the Roll Up Subledger Balances option to roll up subledger balances into the object account total.

3. To retrieve accounts for the same ledger type or a different ledger type and different fiscal year, enter values in these fields:

   • Ledger Type

   • Fiscal Year

   • From Period

   • Thru Period

     Note: The From Period and Thru Period fields for the two ledger types cannot overlap. For example, assume the first ledger type is AA, the fiscal year is 05, and the from and thru periods are 7–12. The second ledger type must be for a different range of periods. For example, you could enter 1–6 for the from and thru periods. This flexibility enables you to retrieve amounts for the last six months of one year and the first six months of the next year, the last three months of one year and the next nine months of the next year, and so on.

4. Click Find.

   The system retrieves the accounts and displays the balances for each period in the detail area of the form.

5. Select the View Net Postings check box to view the net period postings for each period.

6. Revise any basis amounts in the detail area.

7. To save individual records, select the records and then select Save from the Row menu.

8. To save all records, select Save All from the Form menu.

9. On the Message form, click OK to replace existing unlocked accounts in the F1403 table.
