Initial Setup

This is the Commission Accounting Initial Setup menu. It is used to access Commission Accounting Initial Setup submenus, and to end the Initial Setup phase.

Initial Setup screen

While you are still in the Initial Setup phase of Commission Accounting, you can continue to access and change fields on all screens. Once you have established all necessary master files, and created and processed your opening entries, you may end Initial Setup.

After you select this procedure, the Live Operations phase automatically begins, and certain fields and files may become inaccessible. When Initial Setup is ended, the following changes occur:

• A new menu appears in place of the Initial Setup menu.
• Day-to-day commission accounting processing can begin.
• Certain fields in the Parameters file become display-only fields and cannot be changed.
• The Sales History file becomes system-maintained and cannot be changed.

When you are ready to end the Initial Setup phase, select End Initial Setup? from the Initial Setup menu.

The screen below allows you to end the Initial Setup phase.
