Recalculating Financial Summary Amounts
Only run GCLA if you have been advised to do so by an Eagle Advice Line agent or other Epicor application expert.
Recalculating Financial Summary amounts (GLCA) is used to recalculate the ending balance of each account if you have had severe system problems that have affected your ending balances. GLCA recalculates the amounts in the Financial Summary File. This file contains the year-to-date balances of General Ledger accounts (for each period in the current fiscal year and past years). GLCA uses the ending balance from the prior year as the beginning balance of this year. Then it calculates a new ending balance for each account by adding the transactions in the Transaction file to the beginning balance.
The system uses the Financial Summary File as the source for printing financial statements. Normally the amounts in the Transaction File and Financial Summary File are the same.
Only use this procedure to run GCLA if you have been advised to do so by an Eagle Advice Line agent or other Epicor application expert.
If you have just run GYEN, skip this step. If you are recalculating financial summary amounts due to some kind of system problem, modify the Accounting Period Maintenance (GRMU) window so that the dates are for the next fiscal year.
From the Eagle Browser, click General Ledger Menu. From the General Ledger Menu, under the heading "Miscellaneous," click Recalculate Financial Summary Amounts (GLCA). A dialog box displays.
