Account Balances

Access this form using Activities>Display Balances>Account Balances.

Use this form to view the beginning balance, current activity, and ending balances for account balances. You are required to filter on specific accounts in the Display Accounts group box. Then, click the Display button and only those accounts will display in the Balances table. If a wide Date From/Date To range is entered, it takes longer for the system to display the data. If needed, click the Clear button to clear all boxes on the form and the document information in the table.

Invalid account code combinations are not validated on this form; therefore, you can view balances for both valid and invalid account code combinations.

 

Date Range for Balances Date From, Date To: Select the date range for the documents you want to display balances for in the table. If the same date is selected for both boxes, the documents created on that day will display in Current Activity. This filter only applies to the original document (Level 1); the associated documents are not filtered on these dates.

Display Accounts: This group box contains your segments. You are required to filter on at least one segment. Click the Display button to view the filtered data.

  • Available Filter, Selected Filter: Select a segment in the Available Filter column, and click the Mover ( > ) to move it to the Selected Filter column. Once an item is in the Selected Filter column, set up its filtering criteria. Then, the Balances table is limited to the data that falls within the designated filter criteria.
  • Compares To: Select an operator from the drop-down list.
  • Criteria 1: Enter a value to compare with the item in the Selected Filter column.
  • Criteria 2: Enter a value for the end of a range if the Compares To column contains the Between or Not Between operators.

Balances Table: This table supports the drill down feature. This feature allows you to view transactions from the document level through the detailed transaction level. You can click on the plus (+) sign next to a transaction to expand the outline. When an item has been expanded, the plus (+) sign becomes a minus (-) sign. To collapse an item, simply click the minus sign. The following sample shows the three levels of detail:

 

Level 1—Original Document

Level 2—Related Document (all applicable documents, including the original)

Level 3—Transaction (all transactions lines for an original or related document)
