To the Last Cent

To the Last Cent

Finance defers a 12-month service contract and expects every month to carry its slice of the revenue — and the twelve slices to add up to the invoice, exactly. Divide 100.00 by 12 and round each line and you have created four missing cents; the base application's Deferral Utilities solve this by making one line absorb the rounding drift. You are building that generator: two allocation methods, currency precision on every line, and a schedule that always sums back to the source amount to the last cent.

Requirements

The starter contains a table named "Deferral Schedule Line" — the buffer your code fills. Keep its fields and keys exactly as shipped; the grading tests read the lines back from it:

• "Period No." — Integer, the primary key, numbered 1..NoOfPeriods
• "Posting Date" — Date, the first day of the period
• Amount — Decimal, the slice of the source amount deferred into the period

Create a codeunit named "Deferral Schedule" with two public procedures:

procedure GenerateStraightLine(var DeferralScheduleLine: Record "Deferral Schedule Line"; TotalAmount: Decimal; StartDate: Date; NoOfPeriods: Integer)

procedure GenerateDaysPerPeriod(var DeferralScheduleLine: Record "Deferral Schedule Line"; TotalAmount: Decimal; StartDate: Date; NoOfPeriods: Integer)
