Understanding the Order of Execution of the Blocks

Use the ePIS/COFINS Jobs Administrator program (P76B040) to control the order of execution of the block of ePIS COFINS. You can also use this program to add or delete PIS and COFINS jobs. The system stores this information in the ePIS/COFINS Job Header BRA table (F76B040).

To run the blocks, select a job on the Work With ePIS COFINS Jobs form. On the ePIS Cofins Job Revision form, select a block in the job by clicking on the field to the left of the Block Description field. The system displays a green check mark next to the block that indicates that the block is selected. Then click Select/Unselect from the Row menu to change the status of the block from Not Selected to Error. Then click Process Blocks from the Form menu to run the block.

Review the following rules for running blocks:

  • Block I is mandatory. The system does not process any other blocks if the status of Block I is not D (Done).

  • You cannot run Block 0 if Blocks I, A, C, D, F, M and 1 are not run previously.

  • If you re-run Blocks A, C or D, then the system changes the status of Block F to not run (Blank).

  • If you re-run Block I, then the system changes the status of all other blocks status to not run (Blank).

  • You can run Block F only if Blocks A, C and D are in status D (Done).

  • If the Block 9 status is D (Done), then you cannot re-run any of the other blocks.

The ePIS/COFINS Jobs Administrator program contains the same functionality as the Ato Cotepe Administrator Process program (P76B0740).
