Total CBS Ver 1.0/01.03.2012 (Sanchay Version)


TOTAL CBS  
(HO SANCHAY & SO SANCHAY BALANCE COMPARITION TOOL)

1. This Software aims at Total Solutions for CBS Reconciliation Work

2. Through this software Discrepency list can be generated at Head Office itself by obtaining Last Balance Report file (DAT files) from SO through e-Mails. By this,  physical movement of CBS Team members can avoided to the extent posible.  This reduces finacial incurrence in form of TA/DA.


3. Head office can have a check on SO balance whenever desired.  HO can save lot of man power and time by concentrate only on discrepent a/c.

4. This software compares the HO Sanchay Balance & SO Sanchay Balance

5. This software will not calculate any Closing Balance.  It uses the Last Balance Report of SOSB Sanchay & SO Online Sanchay Post.

6. This software will generate discrepency list as on a "Given Date"
 
7. Update all the patches in Sanchay software before generation of Last Balance Report.  Last Balance report file (SB.DAT/RD.DAT/MIS.DAT etc) will be usually stored at sub folder path "SP5\OT" if generated  through Online option, or  at "SP5\DE\RD" etc if generated using Data Entry Modules or at "SP5\SOSB" if generated using SOSB Module or at "SP5\SD\SB" ETC if generated using SOSB Data entry Module
 
8. This software treats "Non Listed Sanchay A/cs in Last Balance Report" as discrepency.  As such kindly give importance for "View Excluded A/cs" option in "Last Balance Report" and take corrective steps to include "Live A/cs" into the list.
 
9. At the end of the discrepency report a summary will be generated. The total number of a/cs in summary is "sum of HO Sanchay Live A/cs and Number of SO Sanchay A/cs in excess of HO Sanchay a/cs" as this software compares HO Sanchay Balance to SO Sanchay Balance and also SO Sanchay Balance to HO Sanchay Balance.
 
10. Excess of Sanchay a/c  Accounts are mainly because of
    a. non marking of Closed or Transfer remarks
    b. No entry in common index a/cs
    c. Non effecting of inward transfers either in HO or SO
    d. Listing of accounts having Zero Balance.
