Auto post direct bill batches

To automatically post the direct bill batches to the A/R ledger (A/R Accounts) you must enable the following install parameter:

Parameter Type Description Default Value
DBAUTPST Flag Auto Post DB Batch and Close Accounting Date. Following are the available values:
  • OFF: Disabled
  • POSTBATCH: Auto Post DB Batch Only
  • POSTBATCHANDCLOSEDATE: Auto Post DB Batch and Close Accounting Date
  • CLOSEDATE: Close accounting date only. Do not post the DB Batch.
 OFF

When the install parameter is set to Auto Post DB Batch only, the DB batch is posted automatically by the system. In case of batch errors, the EOD process logs the error in the process details and the process continues to the next task in the EOD.

When the install parameter is set to Auto Post DB Batch and Close Accounting Date, the system will automatically create and post the batch for each property. The system closes the accounting date for that property after the batch is posted.

When the install parameter is set to CLOSEDATE, the EOD closes the accounting date but does not post the direct bill batch. The EOD rolls the date forward in both the Front Office and Accounting automatically. When you post the batch, the system use the new date in Accounting to post the batch.

After the accounting date is closed by the system, the system checks the value of the install parameter ARCAGING:

  • If ARCAGING parameter is enabled, the system automatically recalculates the A/R Aging and continues to the next step in the EOD process.
  • If ARCAGING parameter is disabled, the system does not recalculate A/R Aging and continues to the next step in the EOD process.
