Overview V36 CFC Form 7 is designed to allow the users to help create a spread sheet that will import to

Form 7 provided by CFC.

Setup

This feature is not controlled by parameters.

Security is enabled by new options in Class Maintenance.

The user must have access to the Consumer Accounting System to calculate some of the

information.

CFC RUS – Data entry example

The CFC RUS menu option allows the user to enter accounts/Item IDs into the system. The user must

supply much of the data. Some parts are already set up for the user, and other parts do not require user

input, are calculated, or do not appear on CFC Form 7.

Use the following steps to enter data into a generic field. A description of each part follows this

explanation.

column may be double-clicked to add relevant data.

Users cannot modify lines that are marked Balance Sheet, Calculated, Header,

the exported spread sheet.

CFC Form 7 Parts

directly modified by the user. Output lines indicate placement on the CFC exported spread sheet.
