Reviewing Variances Between Account Balance Types
You can perform an inquiry to see a variance comparison between any two balance types.
Prerequisites
Enter your account inquiry criteria.
Specify a Primary and Secondary Balance Type for your inquiry.
If you choose to show budget balances, specify the Budget to use. If you choose to show encumbrance balances, enter an Encumbrance Type.
To review variances between two balance types:
1. Choose the Show Variance button on the Account Inquiry window.
General Ledger displays a row for each accounting Period in the range you defined in the account inquiry criteria. You see a column for the primary and secondary balance types, and the Variance between the two balances. General Ledger calculates variance as:
Variance = Primary Balance Type - Secondary Balance Type
2. Use the poplist to select the type of balances you want to see. The default balance type is Period-to-Date. You can also choose to see Quarter-To-Date, Year-To-Date or Project-To-Date balances.
3. Choose the button labelled for your primary balance type to review balances for your primary balance type.
4. Choose the button labelled for your secondary balance type to review balances for the secondary balance type.
