13000 — BK ending inventory

Owner: Maureen

Contains the RTI-exported ending inventory counts and costs by store and item for period-end valuation. Drives the inventory adjustment JE.

1
Roll the prior period forward

Copy / paste-special values from columns C & D into the prior period columns F & G on the BK Ending Inventory tab.

2
Export all inventory items ever counted

Go to RTI → Other/Utilities → Export RTIconnect data. Export Inventory Items for All Stores with a date range of 1/1/2023 to current — this captures every item that has ever been inventoried. Open the export, remove duplicates, and sort by Item ID. Paste into columns C onward on the Inventory Items tab.

3
Map any new items

Any item returning an error in column B needs to be added to the bottom of the table on the Inventory Consolidated $ tab, and assigned the correct GL code.

4
Export the period inventory

Back in RTI → Other/Utilities → Export RTIconnect data, export Inventory for All Stores for the period. Paste into columns A onward on the Pd End Inventory Export tab.

5
Refresh and scan

Refresh the table on the ConsolidatedInventory Unpivot tab, then scan the BK Ending Inventory tab for any large changes from the prior period.

6
Generate the estimated FCOS/GP

Open the Prime Costs Report — this generates the estimated FCOS/GP for the period on the NOTES tab.

7
Post the adjustment and tie out

Post the inventory adjustment JE in Intacct: DR/CR accts 50100 and 50400 / 50450 by location, to true up the GL to the physical count. Confirm the total GL balance for inventory accounts ties back to the workpaper total after posting.

Stores marked "Store Closed" in column S should have zero balances. If count data appears for a closed store, exclude it and note the exception.

The COS % Audit Report must be run only after this workpaper is posted — its current period COS % will not be accurate until the inventory adjustment is in the GL. See COS % audit report.

14000 — Prepaid expenses

Owner: Betsy

Schedules all prepaid items charged to acct 14000 by vendor/service and tracks amortization.

1
Export the GL detail

Run the YTD GL Detail for acct 14000 from Intacct for entity RRS. Remove the "Subtotal by Location" option. Export to CSV.

2
Paste without overwriting beginning balances

Copy columns A through K into the General Ledger Report worksheet. Do not overwrite the beginning balances highlighted in green.

3
Resolve NA values

Check column L for any "NA" values. If a line with NA is not a total row, go to the Cross Reference tab and add the vendor or service name for that item.

4
Review each vendor balance

Confirm the period amortization (expense) has been posted. If a bill was paid this period, confirm it was coded to 14000 (prepaid) and not directly to expense.

5
Amortize PTM Service Co

Amortize based on the contract period — current period amortization = annual fee ÷ 13 periods.

6
Tie to the GL

The ending balance per the workpaper must tie to the Intacct GL balance for acct 14000.

The reviewer's view of this workbook — including the PTM by Location SUMIFS mechanics and the actual/projected column layout — is on Prepaid expenses review.

14100 / 24200 — Property tax schedule

Owner: Maureen / Betsy

Tracks real estate tax bills by store, schedules monthly accruals (RJEs) by annualizing current bills, and reconciles the prepaid (14100) and accrued (24200) GL accounts.

1
Add new bills by billing month

When new RE tax bills are received, add them to the All Stores tab in the column for the billing month — not the due date. Highlight the amount appropriately.

2
Populate the GL balance tabs

At period end, populate the 14100 and 24200 tabs with current GL balances from Intacct's dimension balance report. Check for unexpected items.

3
Calculate the RJEs

RJEs are based on the annualized tax rate for each store: total annual bill ÷ 13 periods. This should not change unless a new bill is received or a rent increase takes effect.

4
Recalculate quarterly

At the start of each quarter (P1, P5, P8, P11), recalculate RJEs for all stores using the amounts in the All Stores tab column V (current annual total). Use the provided formula columns at the far right to update all stores at once.

5
Confirm posting

Confirm the recurring RJE was posted this period. If a bill was paid (DR 24200 / CR Cash), confirm both the payment and the accrual reversal are recorded.

Tax payments are tracked by due date on the Cash Requirements schedule, not by billing date. Cross-reference the due dates in the workpaper against upcoming cash needs.

14300 — Prepaid insurance 2026–2027

Owner: Jeff

Amortizes the Intrepid insurance package (General Liability, Property, Umbrella, Auto) plus Workers Comp and other policies over their policy periods.

1
Confirm the RJE per policy line

Recurring expense amounts are pre-calculated in the workpaper by policy. The primary lines are General Liability, Property, Umbrella, and Auto — on the 06/23/25–06/23/26 policy year.

2
Record premium payments

When a premium payment is made, enter the amount in the Act Pymt row for the applicable column. The workpaper calculates the updated prepaid balance automatically.

3
Record endorsements

If an endorsement or policy change is received (mid-year additions such as new DHC stores or fleet changes), enter the adjustment in the Adjust row for the month received and note the endorsement details.

4
Tie to the GL

Confirm the ending prepaid balance agrees to the Intacct GL for acct 14300. A non-zero DIFF TO RESOLVE column indicates a timing or coding difference to investigate.

Workers Comp is now expensed directly through AP — do not include it in the 14300 prepaid balance.

The carrier-by-carrier layout, the 85/15 allocation split with the related theater-company entity, and the unsynchronized policy periods are covered on Prepaid insurance review.

14500 — Prepaid rent

Owner: Maureen

Tracks rent prepayments by store — some stores pay rent one period in advance (recorded as prepaid), and the RJE releases the prepaid to expense each period. Entry: DR 70100 / CR 14500.

1
Enter payments

For each store row, confirm whether a rent payment was made this period. If yes, enter the amount in the DEBIT (Payment) column for the current period.

2
Confirm the expense RJE

The CREDIT (Expense – RJE) column should match the periodic base rent amount. Confirm the RJE was posted in Intacct as a recurring journal entry.

3
Tie the running balance

The running BALANCE column at each period is the prepaid asset balance on the balance sheet. Confirm it matches the Intacct GL for acct 14500 at period end.

4
Handle rent increases

If a store has a rent increase effective this period, update the RJE amount and note the new lease commencement or amendment. Cross-reference the 2026 Rent Schedule for current base rent by store.

5
Check negative balances

For stores several months into an advance cycle, confirm a negative balance trend is expected given the payment and amortization pattern.

Files: 1_-_2026___RENT_SCHEDULE_-_updated_as_of_P4.xlsx

Watch for stores that prepay five to ten months of rent in advance of opening. Confirm the expense is recognized in the correct period as each month passes, and that any partial-period credit the landlord issues back for a mid-period opening is applied rather than left sitting in the prepaid balance.

14600 — Prepaid POS maintenance (Xenial, Tillster, BKC Training)

Owner: Chee

Tracks subscription and license fees for Xenial (POS), BKC Training, Tillster (online ordering), Stratacache, and RBI Managed Service Fees by store, amortized over the subscription term.

1
Add new invoices

Review the 2026 POS Summary tab for any new invoices received this period. If a bill is received, add the cost, term start/end dates, and annual amount in the appropriate vendor section for the store.

2
Confirm the amortization RJE

Per-period expense = total contract cost ÷ number of periods in the term.

3
Tie to the GL

Confirm the GL balance for acct 14600 agrees to the sum of all unamortized balances in the workpaper.

POS Prepaid is no longer maintained for new items after the PAR transition. Existing balances continue to amortize down. The account will be retired when the remaining Xenial/Tillster balances fully amortize — confirm the expected run-off date with Mike and Chee.

This is a separate workbook and GL account from general prepaid (14000). The reconciliation mechanics, the blue-cell rule, and the required JE Review check are on Prepaid expenses review.
