My Preferences - Account Groups

The Account Groups function of the Balance Reporting service allows you to organize your accounts into meaningful groups. This will allow you to recall these groups quickly when preparing reports such as Consolidated Balance Report and Net Change Summary Reports.

When setting up account groups, organize your accounts into meaningful groupings, for example by division (e.g. Atlantic Division) or according to reporting requirements (e.g. daily, month-end).

The account groups grid displays the groups you have created, and allows you to either modify or delete the group by selecting the appropriate button.

The Consolidated Balance Report and Net Change Summary Reports both provide details of multiple accounts within one report. Therefore when defining these reports on the Define Reports page, groups are displayed with the accounts detailed in the order specified.

For example: If you create two account groups which include the following accounts:
Atlantic Division: Account A, Account B, Account C,
Pacific Division: Account F, Account K, Account Z.

When these groups are selected to be displayed on a Consolidated Balance Report, Atlantic Division and Pacific Division groups will be displayed on the same report with the account details for each account displayed. The same is true for Net Change Summary Report.
