G/L Future Period Preparation (GL72)

Additional Information
Overview of Reporting Future Periods

The preparation of the 'Future Period' work files done in Prepare Work Files (GL72) program is the core of the Reporting Future Periods suite of programs. The Work File can be generated up to any period equal to but not exceeding period 12 of the Next Year defined in Maintain Fiscal Dates (CC90).

Using GL72:

  1. Enter or select from the query the Closing date for period to print date. This is the 'up to date' of the data in the Work File. For example, if you want to prepare the Work File for period 3, then enter that Period End date in this field. The date entered must be a valid Period End date in Maintain Fiscal Dates (CC90).

  2. Click Start preparation now to generate the Work File for the future period reports.
