Allowable Costs - Master File Setup

Here are the procedures that need to be done to setup the Allowable Costs Master Files.

1. First, request AC1 and AC2 xml files from Petrinex. These files can be used to setup all your history for all your FCC's.
   For AC2's request an xml file for each production year you want history for.
   For AC1's request an xml file for the date range of the AC1's you want, so for Jan 2010 - Dec 2013 for example.

   IMPORTANT: ALWAYS IMPORT THE AC2 FILES BEFOFE THE AC1 FILES. THEY ARE BETTER FOR SETTING UP MASTER FILE DATA. IMPORT THE MOST RECENT AC2 FILE FIRST, SO IMPORT 2012, 2011, 2010, ETC.

2. Import business associates from the Business Associates window. There is a Petrinex file which contains all the BA Codes you can download and import.
   This is a list of all the government royalty client codes used by your company or your partners.

3. Add contact persons for the Contact Person window you will need if they are not already there.
   By importing the AC1 and AC2 xml files you will have a list of contact persons already.
   Set any Active column to Yes for any contact persons that are valid for you.
   Contact names are the names, phone numbers, and titles that are printed on the AC forms you create. You can assign a contact person to a Facility Cost Center and do reports based on contact person.
