Use the Summary Account Group tab to associate each summary account group with one or more detail account groups.
Contents
You can think of the summary account group as the parent to all detail account groups associated with it. The detail account groups define which accounts are included. You can also use this tab to specify how account group table information prints on general ledger reports.
The availability of some options on this tab depend upon your security access rights. See your system administrator if you have questions.

Test Setup
|
Each detail account group should belong to a summary account group. This option works in conjunction with the
Exclude from Report Total option.
When you click
Test Setup, the following things happen:
If a detail account group is assigned to a summary account group, but the summary account group is marked for exclusion from report totals, the detail account group displays in the list of "missing" detail account groups.
Amounts for accounts associated with any detail account groups not included in a summary account group display in the
Other column on the General Ledger reports. However, if the summary account group is marked for exclusion from report totals, corresponding child account amounts are not included in the
Other column.
Vision considers account group assignments as duplicates only the
Exclude from Report Total option is not selected for either summary account group to which the detail account group is assigned. In other words, the list does not include a detail account group assigned to two summary account groups if one of the summary account groups is included in report totals and the other summary account group is excluded from report totals.
