How Suspense Posts
When the run is closed the information that is put into suspense will be grouped by production period and split by revenue or expenses when posted to the clearing accounts. All Expenses allocated to an interest on the run closing will be grouped by production period and a debit will be made to one of the suspense accounts. All Revenue Categories (MCF, BBL, OTH, and taxes) allocated to an interest on the run will be grouped by production period and a credit will be made to one of the suspense accounts.
The suspense account that these transactions post to will depend on the type of suspense that each owner has. Owner holds, Interest Holds, Check Minimums, Frequency suspense will post to the account specified in the preferences as the legal suspense account. Deficits will post to the account specified in the preferences as the deficit account.
