Settlement cases are organised into one or more accounts (
IHTM10601), which are numbered
chronologically. The COMPASS record is however primarily designed
for death cases, so the records are divided into Entries (
IHTM31011) rather than accounts.
The first Entry is always Entry B, normally the historic
value of the settlement on the day it was created. Use Entries C to
Z to enter each subsequent charge (one per Entry).
At the start of a new file you will often need to put
information into Entry B and then create one or more further
Entries for the charges you now need to assess.
