Tip
Although the natural behavior of the report is to sort by account code, with the advent of attributes, it can be useful to explicitly include "Account Code" in the sort options followed by at least one attribute. This allows you to break information down by attribute item within accounts.
Data extensions
The following data extension is available for the report:
- Journal detail
GL Summary Report
Purpose
The GL Summary Report provides summarized journal detail information based on sorting criteria or a listing of journal detail which can be grouped by sorting criteria. The report automatically sorts, groups, and page breaks by unit, but additional sorting, grouping, and page breaking can be specified as well. The report can be used as a source for providing the journal detail behind an amount on a financial statement with a view into multiple levels of subtotals.
When you run the report, you must either include detail or specify a sorting option to subtotal on or both.
Content
If the report is run to include detail without specifying a subtotal level, the report shows the following for each journal detail entry included:
- account number
- account description
- posting date
- reference
- debit amount
- credit amount
- net transaction amount.
If the report is run without detail but with a subtotal level specified, the report shows the following summary information:
- subtotal level
- debit total
- credit total
- net transaction amount.
If the report is run to include detail and with a subtotal level specified, the report shows journal detail entries grouped by the subtotal level.
If you run the report to include detail, you can optionally include one or more of the following:
- attributes
- journal entry information (system - journal source, activity source, whether the entry is merged, whether the journal entry is a closing entry, whether the journal entry is a reversing entry, whether the entry is on hold, indication of voided and reversal entries with batch and entry number)
- subsidiary detail (date, transaction description, and amount for detail entries arising from subsidiary ledgers).
In addition, if you specify a subtotal level, the following totals show on the report:
- total debits for each instance of the subtotal level
- total credits for each instance of the subtotal level
- total net amount for each instance of the subtotal level.
For items from a subsidiary ledger, you can drill down on the values in the Reference column to see subsidiary detail in a separate tab (whether or not you mark the Subsidiary Detail checkbox).
