Filtering journal entries
Figure 3 Journal entries window with opened filter option.
Journal entries can be filtered on the list with the use of parameters available on the filter. The filter, in the Journal Entries window, can be opened or hidden by clicking on the arrow symbol at the bottom of the window. On the filter, it is possible to specify the time interval from which the entries must be displayed on the list of journal entries.
The filter is divided into three panels: accounting period, posting date, and general.
Accounting Period – allows the selection of an accounting period defined in the system. If partial accounting period is also specified, it can also be selected from the list upon checking the relevant field
Posting Date – allows filtering the journal entries by: day, month, year, range of dates, current month, and previous month. In case of selecting the day, month or year option, it is possible to specify the particular values in the appropriate field. The range of dates option allows the selection of a specified time interval. The date can be entered manually or from selected from the built-in calendar
General – allows filtering the documents simultaneously by type and ledger. The type option enables the following five filter parameters: by all documents, by draft documents, by confirmed documents, by confirmed contra entries, and by draft contra entries. The ledger option allows to filter the documents by ledgers included in the current accounting period
The user may also filter the list of journal entries by typing the searched value in the line below the column header. On the left side of the line, there is the icon . To filter the journal entries by values, it is necessary to check a checkbox available in the left bottom corner of the window with the list of journal entries.
Moreover, the user may filter the journal entries by building individual filters using the filter builder – for more information about the filter builder, see the manual Getting started with Comarch ALTUM.
In journal entries window, the current accounting period is also visible so that the user would know in which accounting period he operates. That accounting period field is greyed out and it is not editable. Accounting period status: Closed or Opened, is bracketed.
The user may switch between the accounting periods using the function for changing period which is available in the menu of the system configuration window.
The journal entries that are marked on the list can be additionally summed up by clicking on the icon . The summed up default values are displayed in fields below the columns Dr Amount and Cr Amount. More information regarding the summing-up bar can be found in the manual Getting started with Comarch ALTUM.
