This window is divided vertically into two sections. On the left appears the breakdown of the aeonscope general ledger. You can see all the companies using aeonscope, their accounting divisions right down to the account level, and the Periods covered by the General Ledger. The right side of the screen is used to provide summaries of the transactions for these accounts. Use the large buttons at the top of this section to view details about different areas of the accounts. The function of each of the buttons is described in the sections below.

Year Summary

The Year Summary button gives you access to an overview of the Credit, Debit and Balance for each accounting period for the year. You can choose to look at specific accounts or at all accounts.

On the left side of the screen select the company whose accounts you wish to query. Select the subledger, category, element or account you wish to query - or select All Accounts to provide an overview of all accounts. Select the Year to query - this window will only provide a yearly overview so it is not necessary to select a specific GL Period.

Click on the Run Image:start.jpg button to display the summary.
