Run a Journal Entry Detail Report

Important Information

  • Use this report to research online (i.e., Journal ID Mask of 000) or BE journals from your Statement of Activity (SOA). These journals entries usually have fewer lines than the larger, system-batched journals (e.g., SUB journals). The more journal lines, the longer the system takes to process the report and display the data in the viewer window.
  • Enter the same date in the From Date and To Date fields. System batched Journal ID numbers are recycled each Fiscal Year. If these fields are left blank, the system produces a report displaying the journal lines for each time the Journal ID number was generated. Processing time increases due to this.

This procedure assumes you have an existing Run Control ID. See M-Pathways Run Control ID Information if want to create a specific Run Control ID for a report.

This procedure assumes you are using a PC. If you are using a MAC, follow steps 1 – 12. Select Web from the Type drop-down list and PDF from the Format drop-down list to run the report to the Report Manager. See Run a Report to the Report Manager for instructions on how to retrieve and print the report from the Report Manager.
