Use this screen to print a report that displays ACRN project data and values. This screen evaluates record data on the Manage ACRN Bills screen.
You can click to view the report output on your screen, or you can click
to send the report to a printer, file, or via email.
Use this screen when you need to determine whether project ACRN data has been entered correctly during initialization and/or to review ACRN allocation amounts that have been computed using the Calculate ACRN Bills screen.
You can print the print the ACRN Billing Edit Report at any time.
Printing before executing the Calculate ACRN Bills screen: the report displays 0.00 values in the Current ACRN Allocation Amounts column in that screen; however, this may be beneficial if you have initialized project data and would like to review your data entry.
Printing after executing the Calculate ACRN Bills process, but before the Post Bills process: the report includes the ACRN Funded Value, Current ACRN Allocation Amount, Total ACRN Allocation Amount, and Remaining ACRN Value. Using this report, you can determine whether the Current ACRN Allocation Amount must be modified before printing the Standard Bill. Also, the report provides a warning if the total allocation amount (calculated by the Calculate ACRN Bills application or modified via the Manage ACRN Bills screen) does not equal the invoice amount (calculated by the Calculate Standard Bills screen). An inequality between the two amounts can occur if there is not adequate funding for the calculated allocation amounts, if there are over-ceiling amounts that could not be allocated (over-ceiling amounts are not currently allocated because no account ID exists for these records), or if someone incorrectly modified allocation amounts.
Printing after executing the Calculate ACRN Bills process and Post Bills processes: the report does not display Current ACRN Allocation Amounts, but provides an accurate Total ACRN Allocation Amount and Remaining ACRN Value amount, which may be useful if funds are diminishing. The Project Manager can use this report to determine whether additional funding may be required to complete the task.

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
Enter, or click to select, a parameter
ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter
ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such
as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.
When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.
You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults.
Enter, or click to select, a parameter
description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
Use this required drop-down list to select the range of projects to be included when you run this process. Valid options are:
All — Select this option to include all available groups in the process. The Start and End fields are disabled if you select this option.
One — Select this option to process only one group. You must enter the group that you want to include in the Start field. The End field is disabled if you select this option.
Range — Select this option to include a contiguous range of groups in the process. You must enter the beginning value for the range in the Start field and the ending value of the range in the To field.
From Beginning — Select this option to include all the groups from the beginning value of available groups to a specific group in the range. You must enter the last value of this range in the End field. The Start field is disabled if you select this option.
To End — Select this option to include all the groups from a specific group to the end of all the available groups. You must enter the value with which you want the range to start in the Start field. The End field is disabled if you select this option.
Select this check box if you need to choose a non-contiguous range of projects. Use the Project ACRN Non-Contiguous Ranges subtask to select the projects.
Use this drop-down list to select the range of Billing Groups that you want to include in your process. This option is available only if the Assign Bills to User Groups check box is selected on the Configure Billing Settings screen. Valid options are:
All — Select this option to include all available groups in the process. The Start and End fields are disabled if you select this option.
One — Select this option to process only one group. You must enter the group that you want to include in the Start field. The End field is disabled if you select this option.
Range — Select this option to include a contiguous range of groups in the process. You must enter the beginning value for the range in the Start field and the ending value of the range in the To field.
From Beginning — Select this option to include all the groups from the beginning value of available groups to a specific group in the range. You must enter the last value of this range in the End field. The Start field is disabled if you select this option.
To End — Select this option to include all the groups from a specific group to the end of all the available groups. You must enter the value with which you want the range to start in the Start field. The End field is disabled if you select this option.
Use this group box to include or exclude active and inactive ACRN projects.
Select this check box to include ACRN projects that are active because the Active check box is selected on the Manage ACRN Bills screen.
Select this check box to include ACRN projects that are inactive because the Active check box is cleared on the Manage ACRN Bills screen.
Select this check box to include ACRN projects that do not have any ACRN current allocation amounts. You can select this check box when verifying initialized project data.
Select this check box to include ACRN or ACRN/Line Item data and amounts designated as “inactive” (the Active check box is cleared on the Manage ACRN Bills screen). Leaving the Inactive ACRNs/Line Items check box cleared is beneficial because it reduces the number of rows printed on the report for a project that has several inactive ACRN or ACRN/Line Items.
Select this check box to include ACRN or ACRN/Line Item data and amounts that have a remaining ACRN value equal to 0.00, according to the Remaining ACRN Value field in the table window of the Manage ACRN Bills screen.
