Chapter 3: Getting Started
Transaction Detail Options
The system maintains three holding files for posted transactions: MTD Postings, YTD Postings, and Future Postings. For each account in your chart of accounts, you control how much transaction detail is kept in these files, when applicable for that account, by your entries in the corresponding Level of Detail fields on the Details Overlay in Chart of Accounts File Maintenance.
You have the following options for the Level of Detail fields for MTD Postings, YTD Postings, and Future Postings (except as noted):
| None: | Keep no detail (not applicable for MTD or Future Postings) |
| Summary: | Keep a summary by fiscal month/year |
| Journal: | Keep a summary by fiscal month/year and journal code |
| Operator: | Keep a summary by fiscal month/year, journal code, and operator ID |
| Date: | Keep a summary by fiscal month/year, journal code, operator ID, and date |
| All: | Keep all detail |
These options are listed in order of "least detail" to "most detail".
You might also want to consider adding the General Subsidiary application described in Chapter 1 which will enable reporting detail by subsidiary code.
