The selected period settings are displayed at the top. You can filter by classifications via Sub 1 and Sub 2. The dashboard contains three tabs that allow the same financial data to be viewed at the general ledger account level, at Sub 1 level, and at combined Sub 1 and Sub 2 level. Each overview shows the opening balance, period amounts, total, and closing balance.

  • PeriodTo: end period of the analysis. Possible values: 1 to 13.
  • Period99: determines whether period 99 is included.
  • ZeroBalance: determines whether general ledger accounts without a balance are suppressed.
