Defining a total range

Use this procedure to define a total range for use in a total name. A total range is a group of one or any combination of these: company range, level range, account range, subaccounts range, account group, level group, or subaccount group. You cannot use a total range unless you define it with a total name. You can use a total range within a total name for calculations in the Report Writer, Ratio Analysis, Allocations, Budgeting, Project Accounting, and Lease Management applications. This procedure describes the process for defining a total range. You can also define single ranges for a total name. See Defining a total name.

  1. Access Total Range (RW60.1).
  2. Click New Range to open the Define Total Range (RW60.2) subform. Use this subform to define a name that identifies the total range, specify a description for the total range, and assign the folder where information is stored.
  3. After you add the new range, you are returned to Total Range (RW60.1). You can click Level Range to define a company and level range. Use these guidelines to specify the field values:
    Company

    You can define level ranges within a specific company or within a range of companies. If you select a company range, then the companies must have the same organizational level structure.

    Level

    You can define a level range to include in the total range.

  4. You can select a combination of account ranges, subaccount ranges, level groups, account groups, or subaccount groups to make up the total range.
  5. If you have not already defined the total name, then you must do so. See Defining a total name.
  6. Select the Multiple Ranges tab on Total Name (RW70.1) to select the total range.
