Application Parameters

Parameter

Description

OABR Running

(OABR_RUNNING)

A true/false parameter that must be set to True before running and False after running the Open Activity & Budget Roll chain job.  All VLS must be restarted after this value is changed (whether from false to true or true to false).  Please refer to the Open Activity and Budget Roll run sheet in the CGI Advantage Financial - General Accounting Run Sheets guide for more information about the use of the parameter.

OABR Source BFY

(OABR_SRC_BFY)

This parameter is used by the application during the Open Activity and Budget Roll chain job when access to the Parameters for Roll Process (RLPA) table cannot be accessed.  For proper execution of the Open Activity & Budget Roll chain job, the same BFY value entered as the Source BFY on the RLPA ID being used by the chain should be entered as the OABR Source BFY as well.  The value is used by the application when generating allotment lines.  Whether allotments are used or not, this parameter has to be completed.

Back Out Accounting Period

(BACKOUT_APD )

When the Open Activity Roll or Open Activity & Budget Roll chain jobs roll open accounting activity into a new budget year, this parameter supplies the accounting period used on the posting line that backs out activity in the old budget year.

Back Out Fiscal Year

(BACKOUT_FY)

When the Open Activity Roll or Open Activity & Budget Roll chain jobs roll open accounting activity into a new budget year, this parameter supplies the fiscal year used on the posting line that backs out activity in the old budget year. The value in this field must be entered in the CCYY format.

Extended or Standard Budget

(EXT_STD_BUD)

If a budget structure designed to be either Extended or Standard (29, 80, and 44 are baseline structures of this type) is used, this control enables the structure to load Appropriation Inference pages and restrict COA combinations if set to STD.  If set to EXT, Appropriation Inference pages are not updated and there are not COA combination restrictions.

Budget Control Difference Option

(BUD_NO_WORSE_OFF)

This control determines if the system evaluates a budget control updated as part of document processing against the pre-existing state.  If no worse off or less worse off, no control message is issued when set to True.  If set to False the system still issues budget errors if the budget control is still in violation after the document.

For example, if a budget has a negative unobligated amount and a pre-existing purchase order is being partially paid, the unobligated budget error would not be issued.

The exception to this feature is a budget control based on a budget line amount that is a summarization of a calculated amount from another budget level, allotment, or link.  Such a control issues the unobligated error if enough money is not being added to a budget line to take unobligated to zero or a positive amount.

Bypass Document Attachment Counts

(BYPASS_DOC_ATT_CNTS)

This parameter can have a value of True or False.  When set to True, the Object Attachment Count Functionality is not active for any documents application wide. For additional information on the Attachment Count functionality, refer to the "Attachment Count" section in the CGI Advantage Financial - Documents User Guide.

Bypass Document Attachment Counts List

(BYPASS_DOC_ATT_CNTS_LST)

This parameter contains a comma separated list of document codes.  All budget document codes should be listed in this parameter as the structure of the budget Document Type does not work properly for attachment counts.

When this parameter is referenced the Document Object Attachment Count functionality is not active for the documents listed in the parameter value for the application in question.  For additional information on the Attachment Count functionality, refer to the ”Attachment Count” section in the CGI Advantage Financial - Documents User Guide.
