Contents

Field Description
Transaction Type This column displays a two-letter abbreviation for the type of transaction (for example, CD for cash disbursements).
Reference Number This column displays the reference number for the transaction.
  • If the transaction is an implicit posting or an automatic posting, this column displays Auto.
  • If the transaction is historical, this column displays History.
  • If the transaction is related to revenue generation, this column displays REVGEN.

If you preview the report, you can drill down on the reference to see a listing of all transactions associated with that reference number. You can drill down on Auto to see all transactions for the posting run.

Fiscal Year and Period This column displays the fiscal year and period in which the transaction was posted (for example, 200906 for the sixth accounting period in the year 2009).
Posting Sequence This column displays the posting sequence number of the transaction. Vision assigns sequence number 1 to the first group of transactions posted during an accounting period, sequence number 2 to the second group, and so on.

To generate a numbered list of all of the postings for the current accounting period, click Transaction Center > Posting Review Report from the Vision Navigation menu.

Transaction Date For all transactions except automatic postings, this column displays the date entered for the transaction. For automatic postings, this column displays the period-ending date for the file of transactions that generated the posting.
Description This column displays the description of the transaction entered during transaction entry.

If you use the Multicompany feature and the report includes journal entries to intercompany accounts receivable or intercompany accounts payable accounts, you can drill down from the Description column in those rows to see supporting detail in the Intercompany Billing Detail report. (This drill-down option is only available if your role security gives you access to the Intercompany Billing Detail report, and it is not available for tax-related journal entries.)

Project This column displays the project number associated with the transaction.

If a transaction is not related to a project, this column is blank. This column is blank for all Balance Sheet account transactions except for those that affect accounts receivable.
