From time to time it may be necessary to change the billing cycle on multi-month RAs.

The cycle can be changed on individual RAs by bringing up the RA in RA Open or Edit Opening Fields, accessing the G subwindow, and changing the value in the field "Days in the Billing Cycle."

When several RAs need to be changed at one time, this program can be used.

To access the Update RA Billing Days Field, type BILLDAYS (RET) at any Menu "OPTION:"field or the appropriate line number on the Multiple Invoiced RAs Sub-Menu of the Rental Accounting Menu. The screen will then display:
