6.2.3. Particular instructions for file “SALDOSPROMEDIO.TXT”. A record shall be stored per item –points 1.10.1, 1.10.3 and 1.10.4 of the information model of the procedure rules of this regime (NP)–. Those without amounts shall not be stored. The data reported in this file will be used to determine the requirement and will be utilized in calculating the positions for the month following the reported one. Amounts must be reported without a sign. Of the items provided in the NP, only those corresponding to the currently admitted concepts for each period shall be accepted, as stipulated in the substantive rules. For items 10120X to 10128X, 10140X to 10144X, 10146X, 10147X, 10160X, 10161X, 10162X, 10163X, 10164X, 10166X, 10171X to 10190X and 11010X, the term segment code defined in point 1.2.3. "Residual Terms" of the NP shall be stored in position 6 of the item code field. Totalizing items shall not be reported, except in cases where no amounts of included items are registered, in which case item 100000 shall be reported with the "Amount" field equal to zero. The total requirement for included obligations (item 907000) shall be calculated by the BCRA. For the requirement calculation, the current requirement rates for period “n” shall be applied to the included items of period “n-1”. Additionally, the total minimum cash requirement for the month (item 903000) shall be calculated by adding to the previously calculated amount, the value of additional requirements (increases) (903000/M). Item 700000 shall be calculated by the BCRA taking into account the instructions of point 1.2.4. of the NP. For determining the computable requirement for the month's position, when the algebraic sum results negative, this amount shall be considered as a requirement increase. When the resulting amount is positive, it shall be considered as a decrease, in which case it will be computed up to the amount reported in item 903000/00001. The affected entities, as established in Section 6. Minimum SME Quota of the consolidated text on Minimum Cash, shall report items 871000, 872000 and 873000 even when their balance is equal to zero.
