Transactions Selected for Processing

The dates that you specify affect how the system selects transactions to process. You specify dates in:

• Declaration Year processing option

  The system uses the year that you specify in the Declaration Year processing option in conjunction with the values in the date range processing option to select the cash and non-cash accounts receivable transactions to process.

• A processing option in the Generate Tape/File program.

  The date range that you specify in the processing options affects the cash transactions selected for processing. Generally, you will set this processing option to encompass the declaration reporting year. You can accept the default values for the processing option to use the date range of January 1 through December 31 of the year that you specify in the Declaration Year processing option.

• Data selection.

  The date range that you specify in data selection affects the invoices that the system selects to process. If you specify a date range in data selection, the system selects for processing only those invoices in the date range. If an invoice was issued prior to the dates in the date range, the system will not include it in the report. For example, if you specify a date range of January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, the system will not locate and process invoices that were generated in December 2010. To assure that you process all invoices for the prior reporting year for which cash payments were received in the current declaration year, Oracle recommends that you either:

  • Carefully consider the date range that you need to specify so that it includes all of the invoices that you need to process.

  • Do not set a date range in data selection so that the system is not restricted from selecting invoices outside of the date range specified.
