Levels define the grouping and layout of sections on the finance report.
Three levels of grouping are available for the standard report. Six levels of grouping are available for custom reports.
Each level is successively indented on the layout of the report.
Although whole numbers are usually used as the level numbers, you can use numbers with up to 4 decimals if you want to insert new lines into the report.

Seq

Defines the individual detail lines within each group. You can use numbers with up to 4 decimals if you want to insert new lines into the report.
Note: Only report sections with a sequence number can have general ledger codes linked to them.
A heading section is identified by a blank or zero Sequence field.

Description

Description for the heading or account line.

Detail

Select to display:

• all general ledger codes linked to the report structure line
• total figures for each general ledger displayed, not just one total for all of the general ledger accounts linked to the line.
  
  For example:
• Administrative fees
• 0191 Infant School T.R. Levy
• 0192 Primary School T.R. Levy
• and so on.
• Information Technology Levy
  
  Clear to display the report structure line only. For example:
• Administrative fees
• Book, Subject & Photocopy Levies
• Information Technology Levy.
  
  
  Note: In this example, Book, Subject & Photocopy Levies appears on the report but with the Detail flag selected the general ledger codes appear instead.

Credit

Select to display credits without the reverse sign on the report. For example, Tuition fees 53009.00. This avoids the confusion from brackets being used for income, liability or ownership accounts.
If the field is cleared, and credits are posted to income accounts, the total appears with brackets, to indicate a negative quantity. For example, Tuition fees (53009.00).

Sub Total

Select to sub-total all the structure lines in the same group that are above the position that it is placed.
For example, the following three items are summarised in the fourth line:

Lv 1

The profit and loss total is calculated from all general ledger accounts that have the Profit Loss Account flag set on the General tab. See General Ledger Maintenance - General tab (on page ).
