Overview
Use the Schedules screen to create schedules for recurring transactions that you process in General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable.
- The Reminder List screen is associated with the scheduling feature. If you set up a schedule to remind a user, recurring transactions that use the schedule appear automatically on the user's reminder list when they are due. For more information, see Reminder List Screen.
- Generally, you create schedules before you create recurring transactions. However, you can create new schedules when creating recurring transactions in subledgers.
After selecting a schedule, click this button to open the Schedule Details screen, which displays information about the recurring transactions that are assigned to the selected schedule. For more information, see Schedule Details Screen.
Enter a description of the schedule so there is no confusion as to the schedule's purpose, up to 60 characters.
Example: For a schedule with the code MONTHEND, the description might be Month End Statement.
Based on the option you select in the Recurring Periods section, specify details about when to process the schedule.
Specify how frequently to process the schedule:
- Daily. Process the schedule every day, or on specific days of the week.
- Weekly. Process the schedule once a week.
- Semi-monthly. Process the schedule twice a month, on the first or last day of the month and on one other day of the month.
- Monthly. Process the schedule once a month.
- Yearly. Process the schedule once a year.
- After specifying schedule frequency, you can attach recurring transactions to the schedule.
- The fields and options in the Frequency section change depending on the option you select in the Recurring Periods section.
Enter the number of days ahead that you want users to be reminded of upcoming recurring schedules.
Enter a code for the schedule.
Enter the date that the schedule should be processed for the first time.
Specify the user who gets reminded to process the schedule.
Note: This field appears only if you select Specific User in the User Mode field.
Specify users who get reminded to process the schedule:
- No Users. The schedule does not appear in the reminder list of any user. The recurring transaction is created manually in a source application where the recurring transactions are specified.
- Specific User. The schedule appears in the reminder list of the user you specify in the User ID field.
Note: Only the specified user can process the schedule.
- All Users. The schedule appears in the reminder lists of all users who are authorized to process schedules.
