[Print-friendly version]

The summary accounts detailed below are used for online enquiries in the Finance System. (See training page General Ledger Inquiries for details.) They will provide project level balances for total revenue (income), total expenses (expenditure) and total balance. These totals are available as accrual or cash balances in most projects.

Summary accounts are a combination of the Account segment (segment 3) and the Type segment (segment 5). The account determines which revenue and/or expense accounts are included, whereas the type determines whether the balance includes/excludes accruals.

Using Summary Accounts

To view a summary balance on the Finance System, use the following examples as templates:

  • 680210-0000-TY-01-C-T-1
    will display a cash balance for project 680210-0000/01
  • 680210-0000-RY-01-A-T-1
    will display an accrual revenue balance for the project
  • 680010-0010-TP-30-A-T-1
    will NOT display a balance; project-to-date accrual summary are not stored

When completing the online parameter screen it is best to leave the last two segments blank; the system will fill in the blanks. Leaving the last three blank will return both account types (if applicable) and therefore allowing choice of either or both summary balances.
