Release Data

At the end of each billing period, the Technical Services Director must release the data entered in the shop database to allow the finance department to process the charges. This must be done only after all expenses, stock charges, and labour hours have been properly entered in the database. For both the mshop and elab services, follow those steps in order to release the data:

• Go in the Shops Database and select the appropriate shop.
• In the "Select Report" drop-down menu, select "Accounting".
• Select the last billing period from the "Select Bill Period" drop-down menu, then click on "Set Report Period".
• Each line represents the charges to a specific Speedchart for the selected billing period. Only the labour and stock charges are shown, since the expenses charges are done through the P-Card.
• Verify that the charges are correct. Click on "Show Details" to expend each line and show more details.
• If satisfied, click on "Release Data".
