Understanding the Period Build Program

You can run the stock valuation process as many times as you like during each accounting period. During processing, the system builds the valuation for all assigned methods for each item and pool. When the build is complete, you can print reports to verify the completeness and accuracy of the company's stock value before you post it for the period. You can also review the valuation built for all auxiliary valuation methods that you have assigned to each item and pool.

You use the Period Build program (R39120) to build the Stock Valuation period activity tables for calculating the value of stock. Most users of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Stock Valuation system use two versions of the Period Build program to accomplish separate results. You can use a different version to rerun the program if you discover inaccurate information or omissions in the first version of the program that you run. If the system encounters any errors, it sends a message to the message center or includes a message on a report.

For dual currency, the program creates additional records for the stable currency for every layer of the domestic currency. If dual currency is active and the Cardex transaction is a reversal, the Period Build program uses the transaction date of the reversal to calculate the exchange rate.

This table describes the two versions of the Period Build program:

Program Version	Description
Stock Valuation Period Build	This version selects any records for the current period that were not previously processed. Use this version to extract all records since the end of the previous period and post them to the general ledger. If you approve of the data, this is the only version that you need to run.
Clear and Restart Period Build	This version clears the stock valuation tables for the period and reprocesses the entire period. Use the Clear and Restart Period Build (R39120) program to correct errors, such as omitted documents or incorrect entries.
