Day End Processing in a Stand-Alone Purchase Orders System
If you use Purchase Orders as a stand-alone program (without Inventory Control), you choose Day End Processing from the Periodic Processing folder in Purchase Orders, rather than from Inventory Control.
Unless you cost inventory during transaction posting, you must run Day End Processing to update your audit trail and item statistics, to create general ledger inventory/expense transactions, and to update your Accounts Payable data.
Note: Most Day End Processing tasks will be performed during posting if you choose the Purchase Orders option to cost inventory items during posting.
Warning! The time it takes to complete day-end processing varies according to your computer and the number of transactions you entered since the last time you ran Day End Processing. We recommend that you run Day End Processing when you do not need to use your computer for other tasks. You might find it best to run it overnight.
Assign the default cost expense account first. Before running Day End Processing, you must assign a default cost expense account in the Purchase Orders G/L Integration form. Day End Processing will display an error message and stop processing if the account is not designated.
