To make each month into a uniform period for billing purposes, it activates a standard 28 day count in each month beginning with the contract Cycle Billing Day Code (ignoring any days over 28 in longer months), before starting the billing day count for the next month on the same Cycle Billing Day Code.
This process allows any allocated "free" days to be respected without extending the day count into the next month.Check this box to activate this processing for new rental firms.
Uncheck this box for a "legacy" customer that has already billed contracts using an earlier monthly billing formula (where it is always the 29,30,31 days that are not considered chargeable days in the billing calculation regardless of the starting Cycle Billing Day Code), so that existing contracts will not over/under bill in an attempt to compensate for the change in the calculation.

division to the A/R and A/P sub-ledgers and for the A/R and A/P
Control accounts in the General Ledger.

- Transfer Customer Payments - Prompts
for the Division at the time of the transfer and creates a journal
to move the transferred amount to the appropriate Division during
the next Daily Close 3: Post Invoices with
the "Rental Journal Transactions".
Note: Because this processing does not handle Exchange rate differences the currencies of the "From/To" customers must be the same. - Clear Unapplied A/R Account Balances -
Creates a journal to move the applied amount to the appropriate
Division during the next Daily Close 3: Post
Invoices with the "Rental Journal Transactions".
- Calculate Finance Charges - Respects the invoice Divisions for calculating charges and posting to the G/L and to the A/R sub-ledger so that multiple Finance Charges may be generated on a customer's account if invoices are overdue from multiple divisions.
- Bad Debts - Includes the Division on the G/L and A/R transactions created and posted for write-offs per the division of the original invoice amount outstanding in the A/R sub-ledger.
- Collections - Prompts for the Division of the recovery and restricts the collection to write-offs for that division. Then includes the Division on the G/L and A/R transactions created and posted for the collection per the division of the recovered write-off.
- Customer Payments - The payment initially respects the Division that the Check was created in, but after the payment is applied adjusting postings transactions are generated to Credit the A/R Control Account for the payment to match the Division of the invoice being paid.
- Reverse Customer Payments - The reversal of a posted payment will create reversing postings to the invoice, discount and payment divisions.
- Post A/P invoices - The 'A/P Control Account' Credit posted to the General Ledger reflects the Division assigned to the Invoice Header even if the detail expenses post the Debits to different divisions.
- A/P Invoice Distribution Details - Posts any Distribution and the balancing reversal transactions to the division defined in header of the source A/P Invoice.
- Post A/P Checks - Posts the Credit to the G/L Bank Account to the Division defined for the Batch at posting, and respects the invoice divisions for posting the Debit to the 'A/P Control Account' and any Credit for discounts, splitting out the postings to accomplish this if a check has paid invoices from multiple divisions.
- Reverse Posted A/P Checks - Respects the Division of the original check posting transactions that are being reversed.
- Bank Reconciliation - Prompts for Division to reconcile.
- Miscellaneous Invoices - Respects the header Division in the event a Cash invoice is placed on account.

- Agree A/R to G/L and Agree A/P to G/L - Prompts for Division to agree sub-ledger to G/L by division.
- Post G/L Manual Checks and Post G/L Computer Checks - Prompts for Division for the Credit to the Bank posting, regardless of any detail posting distributions to different divisions.
Check this box to activate this processing to generate divisional postings for the A/R and A/P and for the control accounts in the General Ledger.
Uncheck this box if your firm does not require divisional for the A/R and A/P.Note: When this feature is activated, any prior postings to the A/R and A/P Control Accounts can be re-allocated to the appropriate divisions using manual journal transactions in Miscellaneous G/L Journals.
SUPPRESS RATE NOT USED IN DIVISION- Uncheck this box to use a combination of standard and special
rates.
When this feature is not activated, the Special Rates Codes for the Division apply but the standard rates will still apply for any products or rate codes within the rate structure that do not have the Special Rate setup.
This means that a rate structure can be a mix of standard and special rates, and it ensures that there are valid rate amounts for all codes for all products.Check this box when a Division has unique rate codes and never wants to see any other rate codes.
The processing then allows different rate structures to be assigned by Division, suppressing all other rate codes not relevant at that division.
Customers will still continue to get their own Special Rates, but only for the Rate Codes charged at the Division.
The risk is that if a product or its Group has no Special Rates for the Special Rate Level defined for the Division, then there will be no rates for the product.Setup requirements:- Define appropriate Special Rates for each product or Group, for
the Special Rate Level to be assigned to a Division in
Special Rates Codes.
When this is activated, and only some of the rate codes have been assigned special rates, only those rate codes are applied.
Any products with no Special Rates for the product or Group will not have rates. - Set the Special Rate Level for the Division in the
Division Rates Parameters. The division will
only use rate codes from the associated rate level, until the
Special Rates Code expires.
Divisions with no Special Rate Level assigned will still use all the standard rate codes for the products. - Activate this Suppress Rate Not Used In Division parameter.
Note: Because it could be a huge task to setup the rate codes for each product, it is recommended to setup the Special Rates at the Group level.
- Define appropriate Special Rates for each product or Group, for
the Special Rate Level to be assigned to a Division in
Special Rates Codes.
