Prepare Responsibility Reports Procedures

To print responsibility reports, perform the following procedures.  Requests can be made to print all reports, the user-defined default reports, or selected responsibility reports.  Responsibility Reports can be printed for the current fiscal period or for previous periods for which account balances still exist.  Responsibility reports might be prepared to show the effects of prior-period and prior-year adjustment journals.  The user should be aware that in a multi-currency environment responsibility reporting is in the base currency of the entity.  Therefore care should be taken when creating reports involving more than one base currency.  Responsibility reports may be printed in a 132- or 198-character-wide format depending on entries made in category 025.

Select Function

1.   Enter the Responsibility Reports financial reporting option on the GLMENU to display the Responsibility Report Request Screen (GL450S01). 

Select Processing for all Reports or Default Reports

2.   Enter the report date to be printed on the responsibility report.  Enter the fiscal period and year for which the statements are desired.  If no entry is made, the current period and year are assumed for each entity.  Then specify whether to print all reports or the user-defined default reports and how many copies of the reports to print. 

Default values for codes that condition the rounding of amounts to thousands and the printing of detail account amounts are displayed for each report.  Review these codes and update any that should be changed for this print run. 

You can use the roll keys to page forward (Rollup) and backward (Rolldown) through the reports.  You can modify the displayed roll factor to scroll any number of lines with each roll operation.  The roll factor is initially set to 8.  Note that if you set the roll factor larger than eight, the number of reports that can be displayed on the screen, only the last eight reports are displayed after each roll operation. 

The submit code determines when the responsibility reports are printed.  When you set the submit code to Y and press the ENTER key, a job is submitted to perform the print processing for each report.  The message Report request submitted is displayed and the request screen is redisplayed.  The print job will be held for later processing.  (See the Releasing Submitted Jobs topic in the Procedures section for more information on job scheduling.) 

When you set the submit code to N and press the ENTER key, print processing is performed interactively.  As each report is processed, the message Report (report number) print in progress is displayed.  The message Print request completed is displayed when all print processing has been completed.

When a large number of reports are printed interactively, the terminal from which the print request is entered may not be available for an extended period of time.  Also, interactive computer resources may be unduly taxed by this processing. 

When all report requests have been processed, end the session.  (See step 5, "End Session.") 

Select Processing for Selected Reports

3.   Enter the report date to be printed on the responsibility reports.  Enter the fiscal period and year for which the statements are desired.  If no entry is made, the current period and year for each entity are assumed.  Then specify how many copies of the reports to print for each report.
