Defining Account Selection dimension criteria

When you specify selection on EB10.3 and the budget dimension's source is Accounts, the Account Selection (EB11.1) form is displayed.
  1. On Account Selection (EB11.1), select Chart Name. The General Ledger chart of accounts that you select provides the dimension accounts.
  2. Select from these function codes for each summary account: Add, Change, or Delete.
  3. Select a summary account.
  4. Select the detail level for the summary account. The detail level determines how accounts are populated in the dimension. Select from these options:
    • Posting Accounts: Includes the detail posting accounts and subaccounts attached to the summary account that you specified.
      Note: If you select Posting Accounts and the summary account that you specified has no detail accounts attached to it, then no accounts are populated in the dimension.
    • Posting Accounts without Subaccounts: Includes only the detail posting accounts attached to the summary account that you specified. Any subaccounts attached to the summary account that you specified are excluded.
    • Children of Summary Account: Includes summary accounts that are subordinates of the summary accounts that you specified. No detail accounts are populated in the dimension.
    • Summary Account Only: Includes only the summary account that you specified. No subordinate summary accounts or detail accounts are included.
      Note: If you are planning to budget the summary account by Children of Summary Account or Summary Account Only, then you cannot export your budget to the General Ledger. General Ledger budgets require detail accounts. However, you can export summary account budgets to the Financials data mart.
  5. Select from these available Account Type options. This value identifies the summary account and its detail accounts, if selected, for the budget application.
    • Asset
    • Liability
    • Equity
    • Revenue
    • Expense
    Note: If the summary account is associated with multiple account types, then you can override the account type on Account List Detail (EB12.2).
  6. Click Preview to see the accounts that are members of the budget dimension. The Member Preview (EB12.1) form is displayed.
  7. On Member Preview (EB12.1), click one of these buttons:
    • Update List: Build a list of members for the dimension based on your account selection criteria.
      Note: If this is a new budget, then you must click this button to build your list for the first time.
    • View Current List: View a list of members for the dimension. The Account List Detail (EB12.2) form is displayed.
      Note: This action does not rebuild the list.
  8. Optionally, you can override the account type for a summary or a detail account by selecting Override Type. Use this step only to change an account type for a member.
  9. Select how you intend to include the account from the budget metadata. You can select from these options for the Include field:
    • I: Includes the account in the budget metadata. This is the default value for all accounts.
    • E: Excludes the account from the budget metadata.
