Overview

Overview

This alert fires monthly and checks for any contracts which have been Terminated or made Inactive while still having an accrual balance. You can cross-check results by using search in Contracts Active equals 'No' and Unearned Balance is greater than or is less than "zero" - you may have unearned balances with blanks returned after your search. Sort by unearned balance column to bring the ones with amounts to the top of the list. This alert ignores blanks and just lists any positive or negative unearned balances. To capture balances either re-run Accrue Contracts up to current date or use Accrual adjustments if necessary.

 

Run Schedule: Monthly on 10th

Type of Output: Email
