Creating Customer Statements

Body

Overview

In this article, you will use the Process Scheduler to run the Create Statement process. Using Process Scheduler is a simple process. The Process Scheduler's primary role is to support the UGA Financial Management Systems application environment. It is used to run processes, including programs, batch programs, reports, and so on.

Process Scheduler enables you to run reports easily and efficiently, without interruption to your workstation. A report can be running while you are reconciling financial data in a spreadsheet or entering transactions into the UGA Financial Management Systems database.

Basic Process Scheduler terms include:

Process Request: A single "run request" such as an SQR or PDF report.
Run Control ID: A unique ID, associating each operator with his or her own run control table entries. Once defined, the same run control ID can be used to run a subsequent Create Statements process. When creating a run control ID, it is recommended that the format contain the abbreviation for the module name, and the name of the report: AR_CREATE_STATEMENT
Process Instance: A unique number that identifies each process request. This value is automatically incremented and assigned to each requested process when the process is submitted to run.

In this article, you will run the Create Statement process for the UGA Athletic Association.

Note: This article was recorded using sample values. Actual values may differ in the production version of the UGA Financial Management System.

1. Step 1

Click the Classic Home tile.

2. Step 2

To navigate to the Create Customer Statements page, select:

Main Menu > Accounts Receivable > Customer Interactions > Statements > Create Customer Statements

3. Step 3

The Create Customer Statements search page is displayed.

4. Step 4

The Create Customer Statements page is displayed. You will use this page to enter the Run Control ID for creating Customer Statements.

A Run Control ID is an identifier that identifies the process you are running. The Run Control ID defines parameters that are used when a process is run. This ensures when a process runs in the background, the system does not prompt you for additional values.

Note: You can use the same Run Control ID for creating future Customer statements, so you will want to enter an ID that is easily recognizable by you. One good option is to start with the initials of the module you are working in, followed by the name of the process.

Enter the appropriate information into the Run Control ID field.

Example shown here: Enter "AR_CREATE_STATEMENT"

5. Step 5

Click the Add button.

6. Step 6

The Statements Parameters page is displayed. This page is used to enter the Report Request Parameters. These parameters will be used to define the processing rules and data to be included when the process is run.

Note: The Run Control ID you created is shown at the top of the page.
