  • Leave blank to select the first/last account, or enter a beginning/ending account number for the report.

  • Click Click to select from a list of all valid accounts.

In the Wildcard Mask field...

Understanding Wildcard Masks

 

Certain tasks allow for the input of an account wildcard to enable you to select accounts that have common numbering as part of their identification. The wildcard can use the ‘?’ and ‘-’ characters; the '?' represents a single character, and the dash '-' is a literal. For example, assume an account mask set to 000-000, as is the case with standard demo data. If you want to select all accounts that end with '1', use the wildcard mask ???-??1. The question marks stand in place of the account digits; the dash is located as expected in the mask.

 

Align Fiscal Periods checkbox...

The checkbox is disabled if the fiscal calendars are the same, i.e. the periods are already aligned.

  • Mark the box to re-align periods in a previous fiscal year to match the current fiscal year's calendar in order to facilitate comparative financial reporting.

  • Unmark the box to perform no re-alignment.

Exclude Inactive Accounts checkbox...

  • Mark the box (default) to exclude inactive accounts.

  • Unmark the box to include all accounts.

In the Budget Codes fields...

Select the budget codes from the dropdown list for each of the 4 available fields. Note that when the prior fiscal year is NOT closed, see GL Parameters Fiscal Calendar, it changes the years referenced by the Budget Codes. In that case "Next" refers to the current fiscal year, "Current" refers to the prior fiscal year, and "Prior" refers to the fiscal year prior to the prior fiscal year.​​
