Summarized Tab of the General Ledger Groups Form

Use the Summarized tab to consolidate multiple general ledger groups. If the same account is specified in more than one budget, the amounts are combined on a single line. If you use multiple currencies, you can consolidate budgets that share the same functional currency.

Summarized Budget Grid

The Summarized Budget grid reflects the addition of the budgets that you selected for consolidation.

Field Description
Account This column lists the account numbers of all the accounts in the consolidated budget.
Account Name This column lists the account names of all the accounts in the consolidated budget.
Annual This column lists the total annual budgeted amount for each account in the consolidated budget.
1-12 These columns list the total period-by-period budgeted amounts for each account in the consolidated budget.

For example, if you enter 1 and 3 in the Period Range fields, select an account in the Budget grid, and click Tools > Compound Annual Budget at 10%, Vantagepoint calculates the annual budget for three periods and populates the appropriate values in Fields 1, 2, and 3 only.

Reference This column lists the total reference amount for each account in the consolidated budget.
