Revenue Workfile Generation Program
After you run the Workfile Generation program (R48120), you run the Revenue Workfile Generation program (R52120). This program creates records in the Billing Detail Workfile table (F4812) for non-time and materials (T & M) billing lines, such as lump sum and unit price. Unit price and lump sum billing lines are not associated with transactions, therefore, without running the R52120 program, the F4812 table does not contain the information needed by the R48132 program to calculate revenue amounts.
When you run the R52120 program for advanced contract billing contracts, the R52120 performs the additional task of creating placeholder records in the F4812 table for two of the fee calculation methods that are used only with advanced contract billing contracts. The two methods are the flat amount method and the percent of limit value method. To calculate fees using these two methods, the R48132 uses information from the Contract Master table (F5201) and the Contract Billing Line Detail table (F5202) instead of transaction amounts within the F4812 table. The R48132 program uses the placeholder records that are created by the R52120 program to retrieve the information from the F5201 and F5202 tables.
