This option lets you manually reset certain transaction pointer numbers in the control files.For example the Stock control numbers hold the ‘Highest Transaction after Last Period End’ and ‘Highest Transaction Record Printed’.
The ‘Highest Transaction after Last Period End’ is used as the starting point on transaction reports to print transactions for the current period and as the Transaction Listing report is run it updates the second control number for the ‘Highest Transaction Record Printed’. The second control number is used in the Period End process to ensure you have reported all transactions prior to running the period end.
