Tips and Tricks: Account Rollups

An often overlooked feature in Microsoft Dynamics GP Financial Inquiry is the Account Rollup. If you have a need to monitor the total of a group of accounts - say multiple inventory accounts – that may or may not be in consecutive account number order, then this is the tool for you.

To create an account rollup inquiry option -

1. Open Account Rollup Inquiry window. (Inquiry>Financial>Account Rollup)

2. Choose Modify to open the Account Rollup Inquiry Options window.

3. Enter a name for the option you are creating.

4. Select the segment you want to use to sort the information. The selection you make here will control how the information is sorted in the Account Rollup Detail Inquiry Zoom window.

5. Select the number of columns of information you want to display.

6. For each column of information, enter the column heading you want to use, and the type of information you want to display. If you selected Budget or Other Currency for the type, enter or select the budget or currency you want to display. If you selected the type Calculated, choose the Selection lookup button to open the Account Rollup Inquiry Calculated Column window.

7. Enter restrictions to define the segment ranges you want to create this inquiry option for. You can set up multiple ranges for a single segment.

8. Choose Save to save the account rollup inquiry option.
