Journal Entry History Inquiry

The purpose of the Journal Entry History inquiry is to display posted journal entries. From this page, users can open the corresponding journal entry record view, the source transaction record view, or the Reverse/Correct window. This inquiry can be accessed from either the Inquiries page, or the Journal Line History inquiry.

(lightbulb) This record view also contains columns for each Attribute that is set up for the 'Financial' attribute type. Because these are user defined, they are not included in the default view but can be added a saved column layout. Financial attributes are not included in the help documentation.

Filter ItemsDescription
Auto Hide FiltersA non-required text box that defaults as checked and is used to determine if the Search Options should be hidden when the Inquiry runs or is refreshed.
  • When checked, each time the 'Refresh' button is clicked, the search options will be hidden, allowing for more rows of data to be visible on the page. This behavior is ideal for users that have entered their search parameters and want to see the results in full-screen. 
  • When unchecked, the search options will not be hidden when the 'Refresh' button is clicked. This behavior is ideal for users that need to run several searches with different search parameters.

Users can only change the default value of this setting with a custom search in the "Saved Searches" lookup. If you change the default setting but do not save it in a custom search, it will only remain this way while the page is opened.

Refer to this FAQ for advanced search options.

  • When checked, each time the page is opened, the search is run using the default parameters (or a 'Saved Search' if one was set as your default for the page) so the grid will be populated with data .  
  • When unchecked, the search is NOT run when the page opens and no data will be present until the 'Refresh' button is clicked. 

Users can only change the default value of this setting with a custom search in the "Saved Searches" lookup.

Used to select one or more Fiscal Periods, as configured in the Fiscal Periods master file. This is a multi-select standard lookup that is not required to return results. It defaults as blank.

Fiscal Periods represent budgetary or accounting periods that fall within Fiscal Years. These often match the calendar where there are 12 periods, matching the calendar months. In organization where the fiscal year does not match the calendar year, Fiscal Periods may or may not match the number of days in a calendar month. Every transaction that posts to the general ledger contains a 'GL Date' and that date identifies both the Fiscal Year and Fiscal Period the transaction was posted to the general ledger in. 

The lookup contains a list of all Fiscal Periods.

Fiscal Year

Used to select one or more Fiscal Years. This is a multi-select standard lookup that is not required to return results. It defaults as the current year.

A Fiscal Year is a one-year period that companies use for financial reporting and budgeting. A Fiscal Year is most commonly used for accounting purposes to prepare financial statements. Fiscal Years often start on January 1st and end on December 31st. However, not all Fiscal Years correspond with the calendar year. For example, a company may run their Fiscal Year from May 1st - April 30th. Once a Fiscal Year has been determined, it is unlikely to ever change outside of a company sale and/or merger.

The lookup contains a list of all Fiscal Years.

  • Journal ID Range. Search for a range of Journal IDs (e.g. "25130:25150” to return all Journal Entries between "25130" and "25150").
Saved Search Options
