Summary

Run a period end depreciation calculation, create journals and close a financial accounting period

Parameters

Parameter : sXML

XML In the form :<AccountingProcess_T><AccountingProcess_R><APS1ID>AccountingPeriodSetID</APS1ID><A8>AccountingPeriodSetDesc</A8><D6>FORWARD</D6><FromStatus>ProcessStatus</FromStatus><ToStatus>ToStatus</ToStatus><F11>ActualAccountingPeriodID</F11><T25>ForecastAccountingPeriodID</T25><FromStartDate>FromStartDate</FromStartDate><ToStartDate>ToStartDate</ToStartDate><FromEndDate>FromEndDate</FromEndDate><ToEndDate>ToEndDate</ToEndDate><AdditionsJournal>0</AdditionsJournal><DepreciationJournal>1</DepreciationJournal><DisposalJournal>1</DisposalJournal><TransferJournal>1</TransferJournal><AID>0</AID><ADPID>0</ADPID></AccountingProcess_R></AccountingProcess_T>

AccountingPeriodSetID = The ID of the accounting period set being calculated

AccountingPeriodSetDesc = The description of the accounting period set being calculated (optional)

FORWARD or BACKWARD = the direction of the calculation. To rewind, use "BACKWARD", to calculate normally, use "FORWARD"

ProcessStatus = NEW to close the last journalled period and open the next period for future calculation, CALCULATED to perform a depreciation calculation and move from a new period to a journalled period, JOURNALLED to write the journal files and then move from a calculated period to a journalled period. It is only possible to move one step at a time, (e.g. from NEW to CALCULATED, from CALCULATED to JOURNALLED, or from JOURNALLED to NEW) but multiple periods can be processed in a single run.

ActualAccountingPeriodID = The accounting period ID you wish to calculate actuals for

ForecastAccountingPeriodiD = The last accounting period ID you wish to calculate budgets for

FromStartDate = the start date of the period we are calculating from

ToStartDate = the start date of the period we are calculating to

FromEndDate = the end date of the period we are calculating from

ToEndDate = the end date of the period we are calculating to

AdditionsJournal = 0 or 1 flag to determine whether to write an additions journal. This journal will contain acquisition amounts related to asset additions

DepreciationJournal = 0 or 1 flag to determine whether to write a depreciation journal. This journal will contain depreciation calculations

DisposalJournal = 0 or 1 flag to determine whether to write a disposal journal. This journal will contain asset disposals

TransferJournal = 0 or 1 flag to determine whether to write a transfer journal. This journal will contain asset transfers

AID and ADPID are not used in this version

Parameter : sArguments

This parameter is not used

Returns

An empty string or a string starting with "special=" if the batch job was launched successfully. If the launch failed, an error message will be returned

Remarks

This command launches an accounting period calculation run as a batch job. Since the calculation operates as a batch job, this method returns to the caller before the process has completed, so the result is not known at the time the method returns.
