Compressing General Ledger Transactions
G/L compression is either by date or period. If compressing by date, the system totals all transactions for an account on a particular day and creates a transaction with a reference of date summary. If there are 30 transactions, each on a different day, 30 date summary transactions are created. If all transactions are on the same day, only one transaction is created.
If compressing by period, the system totals all transactions for an account that fall into one of the defined accounting periods and creates a transaction with a reference of period summary. If there are 30 transactions, each on a different day, but within one of the defined periods, one transaction is created.
This function does not compress transactions with a reference of income summary. A transaction with this reference is created when closing a year. The amount in this transaction is the net effect of revenue and expenses for the year.
After running this utility, if this site is enabled to publish the GLMovement BOD, you must run the Rebalance Ledger Period Totals utility and the Refresh Account/Unit Combination utility.
