Sorting the Financial Table data
The Level Codes on a financial table format are used to determine the sequencing of information, and the totals that appear, on the report. At run-time, they are also used to limit the transactions that are selected for the report. Each combination of sort levels is printed on a separate page.
The sort levels are hierarchical, that is level 2 is shown within level 1. Therefore, you should use level 2 before you use level 1. If you are using currency codes, this must be the highest level.
The sort levels have two purposes:
- They allow you to specify that only transactions with these codes are to be considered.
- They control the sequence of the report and, consequently, the stages at which totals are shown.
The sort and selection levels can be any of the following:
- Account Analysis Dimensions (1 to 10)
- Account Code
- Currency Code
- Ledger Transaction Analysis Dimensions
- Asset Analysis Dimensions (1 to 10)
Note: The Balances file data is used to
generate a report only when it is appropriate to the sort levels identified for the
report.
