Generating Data for the Cash Reserves Report

In order to generate data for the Cash Reserves Report, you'll need to start at the Royalty Generator.  AnyBook assumes that all of your royalty holders have been set-up properly and that you've created a report or two to make sure that there are no errors.

When you are ready, indicate the dates that you want the report to cover.  Then place a checkmark beside:  "Cash Reserves Feature."  If you'd like to have a log file (which is a copy of the underlying the data going into a cash reserves report), place a checkmark beside:  "Create a Log File."  It's easier to let AnyBook name the file, but you can also indicate own name if desired.

For cash reserves reports, AnyBook assumes you want to include all active royalty holders.  If, however, you wish to limit the report to certain royalty holders, you may select from the list.

When ready, click on "Generate" report.

When AnyBook creates a cash reserves report it calculates the royalties for each of your royalty holders.  It then totals up each individual royalty to derive the figures for the report.  (Unlike the normal royalty generation process, it does not create separate reports for royalty holder.  It creates only one report with a summary.)

If you have a number of reports, it may take AnyBook some time to do all the necessary processing.  In a network situation, it's recommended that you wait to do this report when no one else is on the network or use Local mode (which separates you from the network).

The amount of computing power that comes to bear while AnyBook accumulates the data is substantial.  It is extraordinary process, involving hundreds of file manipulations and full use of your computer's memory.  If you have a large number of royalty holders, once the process is completed, it is a good idea to exit from AnyBook and then re-start it.  This helps re-set the program's memory and file buffers.
