Period Aggregate Capability
At a company’s option, the system can maintain an aggregate account
balance for each fiscal period. This aggregate contains the sum of the daily
balances from the beginning through the end of the fiscal period, allowing
the calculation of an average of the daily balances for the account over the
period.
The system also maintains the current "posted-through" date to
allow for the calculation of the average daily balance through the current
date. For example, if transactions have been posted through the 10th of the
period, the average balance over the first 10 days of the period can be
reported.
In addition to averages for the current period, the average balance for
an account can be requested on a year-to-date or quarter-to-date basis or
for any range of periods in the current fiscal year. Prior year averages are
available if prior year data is retained.
Reporting of average daily balances is done using STAR reporting or
specific accounts can be requested using online inquiry screens.
