Setting up screen deductions

Sam Norton
  • Updated

Exhibitors may be required to pay a per screen levy to their national film board or similar body for each film they show. This per screen amount is calculated and deducted before film hire is calculated (pre-calculation deductions).

You can view the per-screen deductions separately from other film hire calculations in Head Office > Maintenance > Screen Deduction Invoices.

Steps

To set up screen deductions, you need to configure the relevant screens and films.

  1. Go to Head Office > Maintenance > Screens.
  2. Open the required screen record.
  3. Go to the Film Hire tab to create your pre-calculation deductions.
  4. Select the Effective From date.
  5. Select the required GL Account to allocate it to this screen.
  6. Enter the deduction Percentage and Code.
  7. Go to Head Office > Maintenance > Films.
  8. Open the required film record.
  9. In the Film Hire tab, select Include on Film Hire Deductions at Screen Level from the dropdown menu.

Tip: The system setting FILMHIRE.FilmPreCalcDeductionDefault can be used to set this option as the default for all film records. See below for system setting details:
