CenterPoint^® Depreciation - Report Selections and Selection Criteria

If no formatting changes are needed on a report, and if an extensive filter does not need to be selected, a user can quickly launch a report by selecting the report, reviewing the Report Selections and clicking Print or Preview.

• One of the common report selections is the Date Range, Period, or Period Range:

• For example, This Month or This Quarter. When selected the report will be produced based on the date you enter and the date range selected. For example, if the report is set for This Month and the current system date is 5/15/13, then the report will print for 5/1/13 - 5/31/13.
• Other Date Range and Period Range selections include:
  • This YTD - When you generate the report batch, the reports will be produced from January 1 of the current system year unless that period is not yet opened and then it is January 1 of the last opened year and through the current system date or current system period unless that period is not open and then it is the last opened period.
  • Last YTD - When you generate the report batch, the reports will be produced from January 1 of the current system year minus one year unless that period is not yet opened and then it is January 1 of the last opened year through the current system date or period minus one year unless that period is not open and then it is the last opened period.
  • This Fiscal Year YTD - When you generate the report batch, the reports will be produced from the Date Settings preference for the fiscal year end month plus one month of the current system year unless that period is not yet opened and then it is the first period of the last opened year through the current system date or period unless that period is not open and then it is the last opened period.
  • Last Fiscal Year YTD - When you generate the report batch, the reports will be produced from the Date Settings preference for the fiscal year end month plus one month minus one year of the current system year unless that period is not yet opened and then it is the first period of the last opened year through the current system date or period minus one year unless that period is not open and then it is the last opened period.
