Understanding Online Inquiries

You can access the most current general ledger information that is available in your system by using online inquiry programs.

In general, online inquiries use information from the F0902 and F0911 tables. Trial Balance and Account Balance inquiries use information from the F0902 table and Account Ledger inquiries information from the F0911 table.

When displaying information for online inquiries, the system uses these two automatic accounting instructions (AAIs) to determine income statement accounts:

  • GLG6 - Beginning Revenue Account

  • GLG12 - Ending Income Statement Account

Accounts outside this range (GLG6 – GLG12) are considered balance sheet accounts. These AAI accounts are also used to retrieve the cumulative balance for a trial balance report or inquiry.

For each online inquiry, you can summarize accounting information at different levels of detail, depending on your needs.
