Reviewing Balances in a Summary Account Inquiry
When you perform an inquiry on a summary account, you can drill down to the detail balances that make up the summary balance. You can view these balances in their entered currency as well converted to your functional currency. You can also review the journal entries that affect your account balances during the period you specify.
Note: You can customize this folder form to show the Account Inquiry information you need. Refer to the Oracle Applications User's Guide for more information on modifying and saving folder forms.
Prerequisites
Enter your account inquiry criteria.
Select a summary account for the inquiry.
To review balances for a summary account:
- Choose the Show Balances button from the Account Inquiry window.
You see information for each accounting Period and Currency in your selection criteria, including the PTD and YTD balances for your summary account. General Ledger displays all debit balances as positive amounts, and credit balances as negative amounts.
In a functional currency row, the balances include amounts entered in your functional currency, plus amounts converted from any foreign currency journals. Because the converted amounts are included in the displayed balances, there are no Converted PTD or YTD balances for your functional currency.
If you are performing the inquiry for a single foreign currency using the Entered currency type, the PTD and YTD balances include only amounts from journals entered in the foreign currency. You also see the Converted PTD and YTD amounts, which are the functional currency equivalents of the foreign currency amounts.
If you are performing the inquiry for a single foreign currency using the Translated currency type, you see PTD and YTD balances translated from your functional currency to the foreign currency. Note that there are no Converted PTD or YTD balances.
To review detail balances that roll up into a summary balance:
1. Choose the Show Balances button from the Account Inquiry window.
2. Select the summary balance row whose detail you want to review.
3. Choose the Detail Balances button to drill down to all detail balances that roll up into the selected summary balance.
You see the Period and Currency from the selected summary balance, as well as each detail Account that rolls up into the selected summary balance. You also see PTD and PTD Converted balances for each account.
4. Choose the Journal Details button to review journal information for a selected detail balance row.
