Reviewing Journal Entry Adjustments

The Show Adjustments app can be used to analyze an intersection in a report or app to view the underlying Journal Entries. Show underlying adjustments can be used to review Journal Entries for an area defined by a cell in a report or data area.

Accessing the Show Adjustments App

Depending on the configuration of your app or report you may have access to review underlying adjustments.

For more information on adding the Show Adjustments app to reports and apps, see “Show Underlying Adjustments” in the Solutions Developer Guide.

To access Show Adjustments from within an App

  1. From within the Longview Client, launch the App that contains a data grid.
  2. Right click on a cell.
  3. Select Show Underlying Adjustments.
  4. The Show Adjustments table appears.

To access Show Adjustments from within a Report

  1. From within the Longview Client, launch the report.

Viewing the Show Adjustments table

The Show Adjustments table appears within a tab that displays the journal entries that exist within the intersection selected. If there is any unadjusted data in the intersection selected, an additional row will appear at the end of the table that will display the unadjusted amount.

Note: In the case where a cell contains parent symbols, all Journal Entries recorded against any of the symbols’ descendants will be displayed.
