Periodical balance update (DIR34501)

The purpose of this program is to update the Balance file with the applicable costs for certain balance types.

All balance types which belong to the following Balance groups are updated:

Balance group Description
ATC Average tied up capital
HLC Request and return costs
QTC Quotation costs
WHC Warehousing costs

The last period in the selection is updated into the Period, balance upd field in the DIS control file.

Note: It is important that you run this program once every period so that the true cost values are updated in the Balance file. If you want to re-run it for a previously updated period, which is normally not needed, you must manually change the last updated period in the Period, balance upd field (in DIS control file) to a period older than the one you want to update. All balance types can be included in reports you create via the Profitability Analysis tool in DC1 Analyser and the DC1 Report Writer. Balance information can also be analysed in the Balances and transactions enquiry.
