Summary Account Group Tab of Account Group Table Info Center

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.

Description

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: Vision displays a list of all detail account groups not currently assigned to a summary account group. 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 checks for duplicates, which in this case are detail account groups assigned to more than one summary account group. 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.

Use this grid to associate one or more detail account groups with the summary account group.

Field	Description
Insert	Open an account group table and click this option to insert a detail account group name for the summary account group table. The detail account groups you specify are considered sub accounts of the summary account group. This means that all accounts named as part of each detail account group belong to the summary account group.

Detail Account Group Name	Detail account groups that you created on the Detail Account Group Tab (of Account Group Names) are available from the drop-down list for this option.

If you attempt to select a detail account group that is already associated with another summary account group, Vision displays a warning message.
