Day End Processing runs several processes. You can customize which processes run during Day End. The Day End Process table lists this information about each process:
• | The name of each Day End process. |
• | The name of each Day End menu option. |
• | The name of each Day End program. |
• | A description of each Day End process. |
You can use the information in this section as you perform Day End tasks. (For more information on performing Day End tasks, see Adding or Removing a Process from the Day End Schedule and Running Day End.)
These Day End processes are listed in the order they run by default:

||||||||||||
denotice.exe |
Generates all notices with parameters that have been reached; you can then print the notices from various processes.

||||||||||||||
