Delete borrower- single entry financials in 5.3 and 5.4

Update Report Templates

The following report templates can be used in the Reports module to delete Financials if Update Entity is set to Y, and the report is run via the report Scheduler. The F7 Where statement is used to determine which records will be deleted.

Templates

• &BORFINP.QRP – Deletes Borrower Financial Transactions records and creates a list of EVERY Borrower and Transaction . Send to File for record purposes??
• &BFINSU.QRP – Deletes Borrower Financial Transactions records & produces a count of the records deleted (based on &BORFINP.QRP)

Financial Reports for Borrower (&borfinp.qrp)

This report will perform differently depending on the Supervisor parameter (Supervisor/LibraryMenu/Installation/System/Use Double Line Accounting). These instructions are for Single line accounting (Use Double Line Accounting = N).

 Note: Ensure the Template is a Purge Financial Report Type

• Because the Report is large, you may like to send it to a File rather than Paper.

Step 1: Creating a Full Report to File for Checking

1. Go to Main > Reports > RepBorrower
2. Click the F1 New button – the Select Report Format screen will appear
3. Highlight the Borrower Financial report template you would like to use – &BORFINP.QRP (Borrower financial Summary).

If it does not exist it can be created in Reports>RepAddNew or contact Amlib Support if unsure
