Standard Feature – Copy to Next Year
Overview
The Copy to Next Year batch process is used to copy data from one year to the next. For example in the case of the Utility Billing (UB) module, the system will create the new Utility Billing Services and all related Codes from the current year displayed at the bottom of your screen to the year entered. Recent modifications expand the scope of the data that is copied from a source to a destination year.
Functionality
There are two (2) main modifications that have been made to the Copy to Year batch process. First for each Copy to Year Batch Process, the Govern system now copies the Constants, Shared Expressions, Queries, and the VT_USER from regular Workflows and Property Control. Secondly, in the Real Property Tax module; the Copy to Year functionality has been brought in line to match the same functionality that is found in the Mass Appraisal or Miscellaneous Billing, in order to be able to use the same batch process.
This batch process will duplicate data from the selected year to the target year, for the following tables:
- All tables that are prefixed by TX_PARM_ and have the “YEAR_ID” column name
- TX_MODIF_STAMP
In addition the process as of release 6.1.1803.0034 / 6.1.1804.0054, will copy data from the following…
- (Table: VT_USER) of type Regular, Workflow and Property Control
- (Table: USR_CONSTANT)
- (Table: USR_QUERY)
- (Table: USR_EXPRESSION)

Deleting Data in the Destination Year
