Exploring the Right Pane - Segment Properties

Options available are based on segment.

• Account Group - Specify expense, asset, income, liability, statistical and/or equity for the selected account segment member.

• Credit/Debit - Specify credit or debit for the selected account segment member. This will affect reports. If your report displays negative numbers, you will need to change this property.

• Account Type - Select Balance or Flow. Balance accounts start with previous year ending balances and Flow accounts do not have any opening balances. Map Balance or Flow accounts to a selected account segment member.

• Currency Type - Select a defined currency type (created on the Currency Type page) to map to a selected account segment member.

• Normal Data Input Type - Select YTD or MTD to view accounts with a year to date or month to date input type. Map accounts to a selected account segment member. Generally, Income and Expense accounts are associated with MTD. And Asset, Liability and Equity Accounts are associated with YTD values. Statistical accounts can be set as either MTD or YTD.

• Variance Type - Select Positive or Negative. The variance is calculated as Actual - Budget or Forecast. Map positive or negative variance accounts to a selected account segment member.

• Trial Balance Account - Select Yes or No. A trial balance is calculated by summing the balances of all the ledger accounts. Debits must equal credits in trial balance accounts. Map trial balance accounts to a selected account segment member.

• Report Category - Each report category represents a desired level of a reporting view of the consolidated segment members. Report categories are used in standard reporting. Map the Report Category. Report Categories help you to categorize dimension/segment members and are created by clicking the Setup link under the Dimension/Hierarchy in the left pane. And then, under More, selecting Report Categories.
