The Update Customer Accruals Summary scheduled process summarizes the customer accruals by the accrue to customer account, program, business unit, and calendar year.

The summarized accruals are used in the customer and program checkbooks.

When to Use

Customer accruals are created by the Create Accruals for Channel Batch process. The Update Customer Accruals Summary process is initiated automatically by the Create Accruals for Channel Batch process to summarize the newly created accruals and any updated accruals.

Customer accruals are updated during the following events:

  • Associating accruals in a claim
  • Removing associated accruals in a claim
  • Claim is settled
Use the Update Customer Accruals Summary process to summarize the customer accruals that were updated during these events. The performance of the customer and program checkbooks will be enhanced if you run this process on a periodic basis. The frequency is based on the average number of accruals updated between the executions of the Create Accruals for Channel Batch scheduled process.
