Run Details

FINR0321 may be run in immediate mode or in batch mode through the Job Control & Scheduling subsystem.

Timing

When used initially to check that fee type and related data is complete and correct, this report would generally be run after a fee type has been set up, but before it has been included as a liability of a fee category. If details reported are incorrect, they should be rectified before adding the fee type to any fee category, to avoid the risk of charging students incorrectly.

Once the correction cycle is complete and fee types are added to fee categories, the report can be run at any time to obtain a reference copy. It gives information about fee types such as charge method, assessment rates and element ranges, where these are held at FTCI level. It also gives information about the relevant categories and triggers.

Complementary Report

A fee category validation report (FINR0322) is also available. The two reports, run in conjunction, will provide a complete picture of a fee type where related data is held at the fee category or fee liability level rather than at the fee type level.

Report Parameters

For information about system (or control) parameters, see All About Standard Reports. 

Report parameters

A financial period must be supplied. Select this from the list of values giving active and planned calendars, or accept the default of the current financial calendar instance.

Select a particular active or planned fee period and/or select or enter a fee type and/or fee category, or alternatively accept the default of all values (%) for these three parameters.

Where a fee period is selected, it is validated as being subordinate to the selected financial period.

The last three parameters determine the information included in the report. They all default to 'Yes'.

• Include Schedules? If the default of 'Yes' is accepted, the details of any schedules defined for the fee type at FTCI level will be reported. Select 'No' if schedule details are not required.
• Include Fee Calculations? If the default of 'Yes' is accepted, the fee calculation information held at FTCI level for the fee type will be reported. If 'No' is selected, fee calculation details are not reported
• Include Unit Fee Assessment Rates? If the default of 'Yes' is accepted, the recorded rates for units held at FTCI level for the fee type will be reported. If 'No' is selected, unit fee assessment rates are not reported.

Report(s)

Fee Type Validation Report

For each selected fee type, the report displays the fee type information as defined in Maintain Fee Types (FINF2100) and Maintain Fee Type Calendar Instance Accounts (FINF2110).

Subsequent information is displayed in the following order:

• Schedule, fee calculation information, unit fee assessment rates, if the appropriate parameters are selected
• once fee types have been assigned to categories, fee category information for active categories of which the fee type is a liability; and for each liability, the fee trigger details.

However, if a particular fee category was specified in the parameter collection, then only the trigger details for the fee liability within this fee category will display, irrespective of whether the fee type is also a liability of other fee categories.

If information has not been specified for a heading within the report, NOT ESTABLISHED indicates that there is none at the FTCI level, while NONE DEFINED is used where triggers have not been assigned. If information has been defined for a heading, but not for all of the fields it encompasses, then a dash is used.

The information is sorted by fee type and within each fee type by fee period. If the fee period is not specified in the parameter collection, and the fee type has an instance in more than one fee period, all the information for the first fee period is presented, followed by the fee type details for the next fee period. The next fee type is then reported.
