Base Rollup

Field Description
Account Base Rollup

Use Account Base Rollup to summarize account information based on specific digits of the account number. For example, you could consolidate information for all accounts that share the same first two digits or for accounts that share the final two digits.

If you summarize accounts, the report displays the name of the first account in the range of summarized accounts as the name for the summarized data. This is true even if no amount is posted to that account.

The Account Base Rollup slider box shows the format of your enterprise’s account numbers (for example, 123.45 for a five-digit account number with a period separating the first three digits from the last two).

To roll up account numbers, drag a slider to cover the characters that you want rolled up. You can drag a slider from the left side of the slider box, the right side, or both sides.

Organization Lookup

Field Description
Organization Lookup

If your enterprise uses organizations and you want to generate the report for selected organizations rather than for the whole company, use the Organization lookup to select the organizations for the report.

If you use multiple companies, organizations in the active company are listed by default, but you can change that setting.

For the consolidated version of the report, this option is not available. Instead, you select a consolidation group.
