  • If you select this checkbox, the Page Footer button displays. Click it to open the Financial Report Page Footer window.
Departmental reporting?Select this checkbox if your GL was originally set up to use Departments. The Department start and end position fields become available.
Department start/end position

When defining departmental reports, determine the position of the departmental code within G/L account codes.

The length of the department code is defined on the General Ledger Installation - Properties screen.

  • If the length is only one character, then the starting and ending positions are both "1".
  • If the department code length is three characters, then the starting position is "1" and the ending position is "3".

This function may still be used in a company with no department codes. If you still want a report based on the final two digits of the account code, determine the position within the account code of these two digits.

For four-digit accounts, the start position is "3" and the end position is "4".

Cost center reporting?Select this checkbox if your GL was originally set up to use Cost Centers.
