Purpose

This manual provides instruction for both completing the Initial Setup phase of APPX Accounts Receivable and for using the Recovery Processing phase of APPX Accounts Receivable. Chapters 2 and 3 describe how to transfer records from your present account system and how to set up your new Accounts Receivable application. If you follow each of the steps in the order described, you should have successful installation. Chapter 4 describes how to use the Recovery Processing phase to recover from problem situations.

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.

Use the Recovery Processing functions 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 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 Receivable application. Any modification to the software or documentation is the responsibility of the software consultant who makes the modification.
