Preliminary Mode

In preliminary mode, the system prints a report of the costs associated with the job. The system uses the processing options and data selection to retrieve information from these tables:

• Account Ledger table (F0911)

  The system uses the draw AAIs, which are set up in ranges, to select the transactions from this table that meet the criteria of the report and to update Draw Reporting Master table (F51911).

• Draw Reporting Master table (F51911)

  The system selects eligible records from this table that have not been included in a previous draw and that meet the criteria of the report. Eligible records have a blank draw date, a blank draw status, and a blank draw number.

Processing options also provide selection criteria for ledger types and transaction types. For example, you can select only those transactions that are fully paid or select both paid and unpaid transactions. The system subtotals all of the selected costs by job on the report.

If the preliminary report does not contain the correct information, you can change the draw AAIs, data selection, and processing options and rerun the program until the report shows the information that you need before you run the program in final mode and update table F51911. The system does not update any tables when you run Draw Generation in preliminary mode.
