When to Use Selection Codes Versus Level Codes

Note: This example uses a report included in the PK1 demonstration business unit issued with SunSystems Financials.

When to use selection codes and when to use level codes is best described by looking at an example. The layout code REC has been defined using Financial Analysis Layouts (FNL) to produce a Bank Reconciliation report. This report lists all the unallocated transactions for a particular account, thus showing all the transactions that have not been reconciled against a bank statement.

You will see that Allocation Marker is used as a selection code, and that Account Code is used as a level code. This is because we want to select only those transactions with a particular allocation marker, and then sequence and total the transactions by account code.

You are asked for the range of allocation markers to select when you run the report using Financial Analysis (FNA).
