Batch Posting Logic
All Unit direct costs (except the ones excluded from batch posting in their definition) will generate one or more instances of the service in the batch posting. These instances are controlled by the “Start” and “End” dates as well as the frequency and other settings. Vouchers and Payables will be treated the same way inside Orion with the exception of client interfaces. If used, will make a difference.
Forward Billing : For all services set as forward billing, the controlling date is the service instance start date. All forward service instances with a start date between the period start and end dates will be included on the grid.
Arrears Billing : For all services set as arrears billing, the controlling date is the service instance end date. All arrear service instances with an end date between the period start and end dates will be included on the grid.
Proration : Only services set to “Prorate partial period (default)” or “ALWAYS Prorate” will prorate. The prorating formula is set on the direct cost’s Vendor.
Extensions : For all extensions, new lines will be displayed using the correct “From” and “To” dates.
For Monthly Rates : To restrict posting a larger amount due to prorating and extensions, select “Cap Monthly Rate” for the prorating type, which is located to the right of the Rate type field. For example: if there is a set of extensions on a 31-day month and the default prorating formula is “rate / 30”, the system will adjust the final extension amount to the remainder of the monthly rate.
