Purpose

This manual provides instructions for both completing the Initial Setup phase of the APPX Accounts Payable application to transfer records from your present accounting system and for using the Recovery Processing phase to recover from problem situations.

Initial Setup

Use this manual as a guide for setting up your Accounts Payable application. If you follow each of the steps in the order described, you should have a successful installation.

Recovery Processing

Access to the Recovery Processing functions and this manual should be strictly limited. With these programs, users can make changes to system parameters, Transaction Control records and other system-maintained data that is normally not accessible during Live Operations.

Recovery Processing functions are used to recover from problem situations. For example, a power surge can damage records which are maintained by the system and which must be accurate and complete for the system to function properly. You can only obtain access to system-maintained files through Recovery Processing. (Under normal conditions, most data entry errors can be corrected by using File Maintenance Change mode or the Adjustments Transaction Processing function while still in the Live Operations phase.)

If you use Recovery Processing, the system creates a modification log for any changes. Remember that any changes you make using Recovery Processing may affect the integrity of the audit trail.

The features described in this manual are included in the standard Accounts Payable application. Any modification to the software or documentation is the responsibility of the software consultant who makes the modification.
