Accounting tasks
Use this function to update accounting information:
- from operations performed in other modules (i.e. invoice validation, stock movement posting, payment validation, depreciation charges),
- and from particular operations performed in the Financials module (i.e. conversion variance, fiscal year end, matching).
To do so, accounting tasks are based on automatic journals.
Operations can be quite heavy and jeopardize the performances of the application. Therefore, this function offers the possibility to define multiple accounting tasks according to various criteria.
Each task is associated to the following elements:
- A criteria defining the task scope: the task is only active for one or multiple companies.
- One or several operation types:
- Posting operation: creation of accounting entries.
- Matching operation: completion of matching operations.
- Balance update operation: task updating balances (general, dimension, etc.) distinct from the creation task of accounting entries. This last operation depends on the UPDBALBTC - Balance update desynchronization parameter (CPT chapter, ACC group): if the parameter is set to 'No', the balance update is performed at the same time as the creation of accounting entries.

Block number 2
|
This time in seconds determines the interval between 2 reads of the temporary tables. It is advised not to put a value of less than 5 seconds to avoid overloading the database. |
|
This time in seconds determines the interval between 2 sequential file accesses that permit the stopping of or giving the state of the accounting task. |
Block number 3
|
Use this field to define the number of items in a batch to be processed each time the sequential file is accessed. A smaller number will increase the speed at which the operations take place. There is no specific limit on the number of items except where memory space requirements are restricted. |
|
Use this field to define the time in seconds between each access of the sequential file to obtain the items in the batch for processing. A smaller number will increase the speed at which the operations take place. There is no specific limit on the timeout interval except where memory space requirements are restricted. |
