General Ledger prints a line for each combination and sorts the secondary segment values from the lowest to the highest. For each secondary segment value, General Ledger sorts the account segment values from the lowest to the highest. Totals are provided for both your secondary segment and your pagebreak segment.

You can run this report for actual, budget and encumbrance balances and activity in your functional currency, a foreign currency, or statistical units.

Note: Prior to Release 10, General Ledger sorted this report by secondary segment within account segment.
