Rollforward procedures

The rollforward process can take place anytime during a project, but most firms do this when the project is close to completion. The application uses the binder that you rolled forward as a template to create a new project.
To successfully rollforward your project in Trial Balance, be sure to select the options for the following fields in the
General
 tab of the
Project Templates
 screen.
  • Application.
     Select the appropriate application other than
    None
     for the types of projects that you're creating that use the template.
  • Pattern.
     (Recurrence Frequency section). Be sure to select an option other than
    None
    .

Apply rollforward settings for workpapers in the binder

  1. Open your project and select the
    Binder
     tab.
  2. To rollforward multiple workpapers, select the workpapers in the binder and select
    Manage
    Workpaper Properties
    . To rollforward a single workpaper, right-click the workpaper in the left panel and select
    Manage
    Workpaper Properties
    .
  3. In the Rollforward Setting column in the Workpaper Properties panel, select an option from the dropdown.
  4. Select
    Save
    .
If the
Use Roll Forward Setting for subsequent projects
 checkbox is marked for the project template being used in the Document Storage section of the
General
 tab (accessed from the
Project Templates
 screen in Onvio Center), the following actions are automatically applied to the new project binder that is generated:
  • The folder structure from the rolled-forward project is retained and copied to the new project.
  • The rollforward settings for each workpaper in the binder that was selected in the Workpaper Properties panel for the original project are retained and copied to the new project.

Rollforward a binder

  1. Open your project and select the
    Binder
     tab.
  2. Select
    Actions
    Roll Forward
     in the
    Binder
     screen.
  3. Enter a name for the new project that you will rollforward.
  4. For each workpaper in the binder, you can update the reference, name, roll-forward setting, and staff assignment, as required.
    note
    • You can use the
      Select Roll Forward Settings
       options to apply specific settings to all workpapers in the project. When different combinations of rollforward settings are listed, the application automatically selects the
      Custom
       option.
    • For licensed users of Checkpoint:
       You can't change the rollforward settings for Guided Assurance workpapers in this screen, even if they're in the list. You can change them only during the Guided Assurance roll-forward process.
      • If the binder includes only workpapers added from Trial Balance, go to the next step then continue with the steps in the following section.
  5. Select
    Continue
     to start the rollforward process.
  6. When you're prompted with a message that indicates that the rollforward was successful, select
    Open the new Project
     to open the new project, or select
    X
     to close the message and return to the current project.

Rollforward a binder with Guided Assurance workpapers

The
Binder
 tab is isn't available after you rollforward a binder that contains Trial Balance and Guided Assurance workpapers. Follow these steps to complete the rollforward process for Guided Assurance workpapers.
  1. With your project open, select the
    Binder
     tab to open a panel that prompts you to complete the rollforward process for Guided Assurance workpapers.
  2. Select
    Roll Forward
     and use the Guided Assurance roll-forward wizard to step you through the process.
Internal use only
Rollforward uses the generate next endpoint in Core and therefore the project template setup is enter the rollforward process being successful or not. When rolling forward a project/binder, the generate next endpoint that roll forward calls doesn’t look at what was setup on the project, but rather the project template. The project template needs to have an application selected (Workpapers or Guided Assurance) and a recurrence frequency pattern other than
None
 for the rollforward process to complete successfully.
Example
User buys Trial Balance or Guided Assurance with nothing else. They go to add a project and are required to select a project template. We provide a default template for them. They select this default template and select their application and create the project. When theye done with their work, they want to rollforward the binder to create next years binder. It fails.
  • This is because the default project template that is given has
    None
     as the application and None as the recurrence frequency pattern. The user did select their application when they setup their project using this template, but when rolling forward and calling the generate next endpoint, the template is used for the application and recurrence frequency settings, not what was selected on the project.
