Pre-Allocation Standard General Ledger Report

To access this report, go to Reports > Allocation Management > Pre-Allocation Standard General Ledger

Use this report to print all posted and unposted allocation transactions for review. These allocation transactions were generated through the Transactions > Allocations > Process Allocations form (see Processing Allocations). We recommend running this report before posting your allocation transactions.

This report prints in a stair-step format: all the account codes are in one column, all the account titles in another column, and all the account short titles in yet another column if selected.

Specify the date range for the data included in the report by entering Balances Dates and Current Transaction Dates. The Account Balances Begin date and Current Reporting Year Begins date are used to obtain the beginning balances for the Opening Balances date.

Note: This report does not include sessions with a status of "Batch-to-Suspend". However, it does contain any unposted transactions for allocation sessions (JVA-type transactions).

Tip: If you're not familiar with the MIP Cloud Report Builder interface, see Report Builder for an introduction.

You can choose to use the report as-is by selecting Export or View, or make edits to the report by selecting Edit.

  • Select "Summarize Amounts" to add amounts together and display one line item with the total amount. All document information must be identical for the system to add items together.

  • Select "Do Not Allow Changes to this Report" to secure the report so that other users cannot save their changes to it. This option can only be undone by the user that locked the report.

  • Select "Year End Adjustments" to include year end adjustments on the report. This entry type was designated during transaction entry.

  • Select "Open Entries in Detail" to include opening balances (system or user opening entries) in detail.

  • Select "Replace total debits and credits with Balance" to show the net amount for each segment where totals have been requested. Otherwise, the report displays the total debits and total credits for each segment.

  • Select "Suppress Lines with All Zeros" so that documents with zero amounts do not print. This eliminates records having zero in all amount columns. If it is not selected, every line prints, even if it has a zero value.
