Re: BPCS Month-end close processes

We are 405 CD mixed mode AS/400

We split the list Wayne cited ... and ours is MUCH LONGER than his ... into 

jobs that HAVE to be run as part of the End-Fiscal Check list, 

that are actually REORG that SHOULD be run weekly & do not have to be done on 
the same nite as End-Fiscal, 

and those whose updates, like CST900 ought to be at least biweekly but no 
harm done if they get run the nite before End-Fiscal ... so this reduces the 
volume of tasks for the End-Fiscal - 

there are also a ton of General Ledger reports that we have identified can be 
run a day or two after the End-Fiscal, which is an issue of tying up JOBQ & 
printer

Our Fiscal month falls on the end of the closest calendar week, so that we 
have the whole weekend to do it, but rarely need it ... we use a combination 
of PCAnywhere for Accountants to dial in from home, and MIS running most of 
the EOM jobs from about 5 pm Friday to about 4 am Saturday, so we could 
almost do ours in the middle of the week.
