Restoring the AR-MASTER File
The ;SPC:MCO program restores your accounts receivable master file, AR-MASTER, if it is lost or becomes corrupted.
Although you should have a backup that you can use to retrieve the AR-MASTER file, it may not include your current day’s work. This program updates your AR-MASTER file using the day’s A/R batch file.
Make sure you release all batches that should not be written to the A/R Master file, such as cash and cash returns batches, before you run this program. For more information about releasing batches, see Releasing Accounts Receivable Batches.
