- Rollup Types & Codes (sort/selection option) – are user-defined fields you can use to sort and select account information on various reports in General Ledger, without affecting the structure of the account number.
- For each rollup type defined, you can create rollup codes in Rollup Code Maintenance. The rollup codes provide the sort and select options for the various rollup types defined.
- For example, you can use rollup types and rollup codes to track sales managers assigned to specific regions or locations.
– This is done by first creating a rollup type of Manager and then creating rollup codes identifying the rollup type (for example, Jane, Bob, and Sue).
– When creating the sales accounts, assign the appropriate rollup code to each account.
– The roll-up codes are then associated with accounts in Main Account Maintenance and Account Maintenance.
- The description entered for the roll-up type appears as a field name in Main Account Maintenance and Account Maintenance. Only those roll-up types with a description defined appear in these tasks.
- When printing various reports, including the General Ledger Detail Report and the Income Statement, you have the option of sorting and selecting information on the report based on a specific rollup type and rollup code.
