Reviewing Balances in a Detail Account Inquiry
When you perform an account inquiry on a detail account, you can view balances in their entered currency as well as converted to the functional currency. You can review the journal entries that affect your account balances during the period you specify. You can also see the summary accounts the detail account rolls into.
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 detail account for the inquiry.
To review balances for a detail 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 the detail 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 the summary accounts the detail account balance rolls into:
1. Choose the Show Balances button from the Account Inquiry window.
2. Select a detail balance row.
3. Choose the Summary Balances button to see all summary accounts into which the detail account rolls for the selected period and currency.
You see the Period and Currency from the selected detail balance row, and the balances for the corresponding summary accounts. You also see PTD and PTD Converted balances for each summary account.
4. Choose the Detail Balances button to return to the Detail Balances window.
