Hi,

 

I have a requirement to use the schedule background job on Transfer Project Cost Accounting Transactions.

  • Is this scheduling option facilitating the feature of Valid From, Valid To and Voucher Date.
  • What does Execution Offset, Voucher Date Offset mean.

Regards,

Rasfe

Hi Rasfe,

The intention is that you should be able to schedule this job to run on a recurrent basis, e.g. once a week. Instead of setting fixed dates in the job, the offsets allow you to relate the dates to when the job is executed. This means that instead of setting up separate jobs for each planned run, you can set one job to reoccur on a periodical basis.

The Execution Offset is used to calculate the Start Date, and the Voucher Date Offset is used to calculate the Voucher Date. The date the job is run is used for the End Date.

As an example, you may schedule the job to run on Monday mornings, with an Execution Offset of 7 and a Voucher Offset of 1. When the job is run next Monday (24th July), it will include transactions from Monday this week (17th July) until next Monday morning (24th July), and the voucher date will be set to Sunday (23rd July).

When the job is run the following week, the corresponding dates would instead be 24th July for the start date, 31st July for the end date, and 30th July for the voucher date.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Johan
