GL Spreadsheet Export window
Use this window to export spreadsheet data from General Ledger.
Fund Number (Fund product only)
Type the fund number in the field or use the Lookup to select the fund for which you want to export data.
Starting Account / Ending Account
Use these boxes to set the range of accounts you want to include. The default settings for these boxes will include all the accounts in your
Chart of Accounts.
(Fund product only) If you selected a fund number, the Lookup will be filtered by the fund number and it will appear in the appropriate segment of the account.
Starting Period / Ending Period
Enter the starting and ending period number(s) you want to include in the report. You can choose any period(s) in your
fiscal calendar, from 0 to 60. If you want to include only one period in the report, enter the same number in both the
Starting Period and
Ending Period boxes. The defaults for these boxes is the present period as shown in your fiscal calendar.
When you enter the period number, the first date of the starting period and the last date of the ending period will appear to the right of the corresponding boxes so you can verify that these are the periods you want to include in the report.
(Fund product only) If the Allow multiple fiscal calendars check box is selected in Module Preferences and the fund calendar is different than the organization calendar, the fund’s fiscal calendar will be used for these dates.
