The information in this article applies to:
This article is provided in order to explain how the Pre-Conversion Warnings affect Version 14. For overview information on the Pre-Conversion Analysis program, see KB Article R11100 - Tabs3 Version 14 Pre-Conversion Analysis.
Before being able to convert Tabs3 Version 12, 11, or 10 data to Version 14, a Pre-Conversion Analysis program MUST be run. The results of this program are written to a data file, which can be viewed using various filtering options. The report generated consists of various warning codes.
Certain warnings may be corrected by running the most current version of the Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program. Details on how to run the Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program can be found later in this article. After running the Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program, rerun the Pre-Conversion Analysis to determine which warnings, if any, are remaining.
Note: In the event warnings are indicated by the Pre-Conversion Analysis, if someone who does not use the software on a regular basis is performing the conversion, such as an IT person or third party consultant, we strongly recommend that the person performing the conversion consult with the Billing Manager, Managing Partner, or other authorized firm employee before proceeding with the conversion. We further recommend that you work with your Tabs3 reseller or our Technical Support staff to determine the best course of action.
All Pre-Conversion warning codes consist of a 3-digit number in an 800 series (i.e., 800 through 899).
Warning Warning
Code Ref # Type Description
------- ----- ---- -----------
801 2 Y Invalid Ledger Type
|
Explanation |
This warning indicates that a record exists in the Client Ledger file that is not a Statement, Payment or Write Off Record (these are the only valid types of ledger records). This indicates the Client Ledger file is corrupted and needs to be repaired before converting to Tabs3 Version 14. Please call your Tabs3 reseller or Technical Support at 402-423-1440 for assistance. |

Warning Warning
Code Description
------- -----------
802 Final Statement must be updated or unbilled before conversion
|
Explanation |
The Version 14 Conversion does not allow Tabs3 to have any statements in Final status when converting. This means that any statements that have been final billed but have not been updated must be unbilled or updated before converting to Version 14. If you are not ready to convert to Version 14 yet and do not want to see this warning displayed at this time, you can clear the "Include Final Statement Warnings" check box when running the Pre-Conversion Report. |
Warning Warning
Code Ref # Description

Explanation |
Prior versions allowed a ledger record to be set to "Hold" using the Edit Client Ledger program. Version 14 no longer allows this. The Version 14 conversion will change any ledger records from "Hold" to "Pay". The Pre-Conversion alerts you to the fact that the change will be made during the conversion. |

How to Identify in Prior Versions |
The balance due reflected on a Client Ledger Report for this client would not match the balance due on the Detail and Summary Accounts Receivable Report, the Accounts Receivable by Invoice Report, or the client's statement. There are more uncommon ledger scenarios that can cause this discrepancy to be reported but not be readily visible by comparing reports. |
|
What the Version 14 Conversion Will Do |
The conversion will not make adjustments to correct this discrepancy. If the client has a zero balance and also has a Post Conversion warning 680, the client will be marked Inactive during the conversion. |
|
What the Post Conversion Report Will Show |
This discrepancy will result in Post Conversion warning 685. If the client has a zero balance and also has a Post Conversion warning 680, a Post Conversion warning 686 will also be reported, indicating the client has been marked Inactive. |
|
How Version 14 is Affected |
The balance due reflected on a Client Ledger Report for this client will continue to not match the balance due on the Detail and Summary Accounts Receivable Report, the Accounts Receivable by Invoice Report, or the client's statement. For the ledger scenarios where this discrepancy was not readily visible by comparing reports, this may continue to be true in Version 14. If the client also has Pre-Conversion warnings other than 801, 802, 803, 804, 819, 823, 825, 838, or 839, and these warnings end up resulting in Post Conversion warning 680, the client's discrepancies will not be able to be corrected by the conversion. Payments and credits entered in Version 14 for this client will most likely not allocate correctly. The Receipt Allocation information for this client will not be accurate. |
|
The term "To-Date" is used in reference to the Receipt Allocation File. When running a Version 12 Receipt Allocation Report, options were available to run it for Month-To-Date, Year-To-Date, or To-Date. The To-Date option included ALL information in the Receipt Allocation file for that client. This is equivalent to the "All " option on the Version 14 Receipt Allocation Report. |
|
|
The term "Receipt Allocation" is used to describe information that is shown on the Version 12 Receipt Allocation Report. |
|
|
Payment Allocation or PYMALC |
The Payment Allocation file, also abbreviated as PYMALC, contains the information that can be accessed by clicking on the Allocate button in the Version 12 Edit Client Ledger program. This information is stored not only for payments, but also for statements and write offs. For example, if $500 was billed evenly amongst Timekeepers 1 and 2, the Payment Allocation file would contain a record for Timekeeper 1 for $250 and a record for Timekeeper 2 for $250. |
|
The term "Ledger Detail" is used to describe the information that can be accessed by clicking on the Apply button in the Version 12 Edit Client Ledger program. This information is stored only for payments, write offs and statements that contain credits. It consists of the record type (Timekeeper number, Cost Type, etc.) and the statement that the write off, payment, or credit applies to. |
|
|
The term "Statement Detail File" is used to describe a new file created in the Version 14 Conversion to store a client's Ledger / Accounts Receivable information. It consists of the Client ID, the Ledger reference number, the Record Type (Timekeeper number, Cost Type, etc.), the amount and amount due for that record type, the hours (for fees) and a calculated worked value figure. |
|

The term "Statement Detail Allocation File" is used to describe a new file created in the Version 14 Conversion to store a client's Allocation information for paid and credited amounts. It consists of the Client ID, the Ledger reference number, an indicator if the payment is in Work-In-Process or not, whether it's a payment or a credit, the Record Type (Timekeeper number, Cost Type, etc.), the amount, the sequence number of the ledger record that it applies to, the allocation date, whether or not any manual allocation was done or not, whether it's working / primary / secondary / or originating allocation, and a net paid figure. |

Client ID* |
An asterisk next to the client ID indicates the client's Receipt Allocation by Invoice check box is cleared. |
|
Calculated Due |
When referring to a "calculated due" amount from the Client
Ledger file, the conversion is performing a calculation, per transaction
type, as to what has been billed minus any payments, credits and write
offs, e.g. Total Fees Billed - (Payments Allocated to Fees + Fee Credits
+ Fee Write Offs) = Calculated Fees Due. |
The following benchmark times may be of interest.
After running the Pre-Conversion Analysis program, you may be directed to run the Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program. The latest Tabs3 program files, Version 12.2.2, contain changes to the Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program that can correct various Pre-Conversion warnings. The Pre-Conversion warnings that may be fixed by this program include 807, 808, 809, 810, 811, 812, 813, 814, 815, 824 and 828.
The Version 12.2.2 Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program will automatically detect which clients have the aforementioned errors based on the results of your Pre-Conversion Analysis. You will be asked whether you want to run the Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program for all of those clients automatically at the same time.
Caution: Do NOT run the Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program for ALL clients (or for clients that do not have the aforementioned Pre-Conversion warnings). Doing so could cause potential problems with future payment application, the ability to write off balances, the ability to reverse write offs, the ability to undo statements, the ability to reverse payments, etc.
After running the Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program for the specified clients, rerun the Pre-Conversion Analysis to determine which warnings, if any, are remaining.
Note: Although it is possible for many Pre-Conversion warnings of 807, 808, 809, 810, 811, 812, 813, 814, 815, 824 and 828 to be corrected by running the Tabs3 Version 12.2.2 Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program, it is quite possible that not all of these Pre-Conversion warnings will be eliminated.
To run the Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program
Important Note: If directed to run the Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program, it is important to verify that the firm has Tabs3 Version 12.2.2 program files before proceeding. All Version 14 updates shipped or downloaded after August 23, 2006 include the most current Tabs3 Version 12.2.2 program files.
If you are not sure whether or not you have the most current Tabs3 Version 12.2.2 Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program, use the following procedures to determine which version of Tabs3 you currently have installed.
To determine if you have the Tabs3 Version 12.2.2 Rebuild Client Ledger Detail program
- If your Version is 12.2.2.x (where x represents any number), your programs are current and you do not need to download new Version 12.2 programs.
- If your Version is 12.2.1.x (where x represents any number), you MUST download Tabs3 Version 12.2.2.
- If your Version is before Version 12, please call Tabs3 Technical Support at (402) 423-1440 for assistance.
To download Tabs3 Version 12.2.2
Note: If you need more assistance with downloading, refer to Knowledge Base Article R10154, How to Download Files from Software Technology, Inc.'s Download Pages.
Note: If the Pre-Conversion Analysis results are from version 12.2.1 or earlier of the Pre-Conversion Analysis, it is not possible to run a Version 12.2.2 Rebuild Client Ledger Data files program (unless the files do not exist in the directory). The Rebuild program will detect the version of the results file and display a message to download the newest Pre-Conversion Analysis program and run it. This was a precaution that was built into the Rebuild Client Ledger Data Files program in Version 12.2.2.
