Data items for the preceding screen are described below:

Projected From Date

Date (YMD) Required

Specify the date from which the transactions to be printed will be projected. By default, the system displays today’s date. You can enter a new date to override the display.

Date to Use as Basis

Upper case, 1 character Required

The system displays a default value from the Parameters file. If you wish, you can change it. This entry signifies which date to use as the basis for projections. Valid options are:

1
Invoice date
2
Due date
Projection Periods

Number, up to 3 digits

The system displays, in days, a set of weekly projection periods. You can override any of the period values.

Each projection period refers to either the invoice date or the due date, depending on the entry in the Date to Use as Basis field. A positive entry indicates the number of days ahead that you want to project.

Period Ending Dates

Date (YMD) Display only

These dates shown you the actual ending date for each projection period that is to be printed. This date is determined by adding the number of days in the corresponding Projection Period to the Projection Date. For example, if the projection date is 7/01/90 and the projection periods are 7, 14, 21, and 28 days, the Period Ending Dates will be 7/08/90, 7/15/90, 7/22/90, and 7/29/90.

The entered data is validated. During validation, including access to other files, conditions may be found which cause messages to be displayed. Errors (E), Warnings (W), and Messages (M) that may result are shown below:

  • EProjection Periods Must Be in Ascending Order
