EDI Viewer - AC1 Form

The AC1 Form window is used to edit and enter AC1 forms for facility cost centers, or to add new facility cost centers.

The Select an AC1: list box at the top of the window lists the date prepared and type for all AC1 forms for this FCC. Picking a selection from this list box will show you that AC1 form. This allows you to see a complete audit trail of AC1 forms. The list box at the top of the window will be empty for new AC1 forms until you enter your data and save it.

Picking an AC1 from the list that is not the most recent AC1, will put that AC1 form into a Read Only status. Since there is a newer AC1, all previous AC1s cannot be editted preserving your audit trail, but still allowing you to view and print them.

Due to Registry changes, there are now 5 different AC1 types: Setup, Change, Change Operator, Terminate, and Un-Terminate. Please click this AC1 Registry Changes 2005 for more detailed information.

    1. Switch to Facility view by clicking the Facility button on the right side of the screen.

Business Rules:

  • Creating a 'Terminate' AC1 will automatically update the Termination Date, Last Status Year, and Status in the FCC Cost Center Setup window
  • Creating a 'Change' AC1 does not change the status of the FCC in the FCC Cost Center Setup window
  • A Setup AC1 can be linked to several Previous FCC's in section 2.9. Section 2.5 (the Remaining Userful Life) of the FCC will be determined by the first Previous FCC chosen in this scenario. Capital from the Previous FCC's should automatically transfer to the first AC2 created for this new FCC.
