This option in the System maintenance menu verifies that the sum of the value of all the accrual postings relating to a specific header equal the value in the header record. The program produces a report of any discrepancies found.
If any errors are found you should use the next option on the menu Rebuild accruals to update the value in the header based on the total of the individual postings. If this option is run as part of the End-of-Day routine and any errors are found, the Rebuild option is called automatically.
When the option is selected, the buttons OK and Cancel are displayed to you.
Click the OK button to execute the verification process. If the verification fails, the program produces an error report detailing the accrual record number, description, accrual type, nominal control account, header record value and the sum of the value in the transaction records linked to the header, together with a message 'Accruals failed verification' on the screen.
If the verification is successful the message 'Accruals verify OK' is displayed along with the Done button.
Clicking the Done button returns you to the System maintenance Menu.
Cancel: Click the Cancel button to return to the System maintenance menu without performing the verification.
