Process End of Month
The final step in your EOM Process is to run the End of Month Processing.
This is the step that formally closes out your month and tells the program
you are starting a new month. As such, you want to make sure that you have
everything done for the month you are wanting to close out before proceeding
beyond this point. This includes, but is not limited to, correcting mis-read
meters, correcting any billing errors, and checking for any audit balance
issues. Once you are ready to close out, click on Main Menu -> End of Month Processing
.
Do note that as of version 24.7.100 the program will not allow you
to proceed with the EOM Processing if you have not run your System Totals Reports.
If you have a Mult-Access or Multi-User License for RVS, you will first
receive a notification to ensure that all other computers are closed out of
the program. Click OK
to continue.
Next you should receive a notification reminding you to make a backup. If
you already made a backup, click Yes
to continue, otherwise click
No
and create the EOM Backup.
Next you will receive another notification reminding you of any reports you
may need to run. If you see any
reports listed as being needed you need to click No
and go
run said repots. Otherwise, you may click Yes
to continue along.
Finally you will see the End of Month Processing screen. If you are ready to
close out your month and progress to the next, click Start Process
otherwise you may click Cancel
to return and finish up whatever
you may need.
Once it is done, it should give you confirmation that the process is finished
and you will now be working in the new month. Please ensure that you are
correctly dated on the new month after closing out if you are going to
continue working in RVS. Failure to do so will cause issues with your data.
