Subsidiary detail
The Subsidiary Detail folder provides access to journal detail expanded to include detailed information from subsidiary packages (Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Bank Reconciliation, Fixed Assets, Payroll). The Subsidiary Detail resource inherits its permissions from the Journal Detail resource.
Change a detail line for a merged or unmerged entry from a subsidiary package
If a journal entry originated in a subsidiary package, whether or not it has been merged, only the description and memo on its detail lines can be edited in General Ledger; go to the subsidiary package if you need to make other changes.
- In the Navigation pane, highlight the General Ledger > Journal Entries > Subsidiary Detail folder.
- In the HD view, locate and double-click the subsidiary detail record you want to open.
- Perform only the steps you need to correct the journal detail line:
- Unless it was overridden previously, the Description defaults from the description on the journal entry. Enter the description to use for the detail line.
- Enter a Memo if you need to provide additional information about the detail line.
- When you finish, save your changes.
