Accruals are generated based on already available data in Dataloy VMS. They are used for proration of cost and revenue for an accounting period and for period-end-closing, i.e. matching cost and revenue to the accounting period in which they were earned/incurred rather than when payment was received/made.
On the Finance Accruals module, the Generate button is located on top of the top left corner of the table with the accruals.
Once generated, the module displays the accruals (as per set parameters) pending posting to an accounting system. Accruals will only be generated for open voyages. Each will have a document date equalising the last day of the period the accruals were generated for. A reversal record for each accrual with a document date equal to the first day of the next period is also listed.
