General Ledger gives you a complete set of standard reports such as journal reports, general ledgers, account analyses and trial balances. You can also request standard listings to review key non-financial information, including your chart of accounts, row sets, column sets and content sets, reporting hierarchies, consolidation definitions, recurring journal formulas, and more. All of the information in these reports and listings is also available online.
You can combine standard reports, listings and programs into a request set to submit them as a group. In addition, if the Financial Statement Generator program is assigned to your responsibility, you can include FSG reports in standard request sets.
Note: Due to the length of descriptions, account combinations, etc., information in report fields may be truncated to accommodate the report format.
Note: For those definitions that are secured using definition access sets, such as FSG components, Recurring Journals, and Budget Organizations, you must have the View privilege to the definition to view the definition in standard reports and listings.
General Ledger provides the following categories of standard reports and listings:
Account Analysis: These reports list the accumulated balances of a range of accounts and all journal entry lines that affect that range. The same segment security rules defined for your chart of accounts extend to account analysis reports.
Budget: These reports and listings contain information about your budgets and budget organizations, including account assignments and budget hierarchies.
Chart of Accounts: These reports and listings provide information about the accounts in your chart of accounts, including segment values, rollup ranges and suspense accounts.
Consolidation: These reports and listings provide information about your consolidation activities.
You can also request reports about a specific consolidation, including how your subsidiaries' accounts are mapped into your parent accounts. You must use the audit mode run option in order to request the Consolidation Audit Report and the Consolidation Exception Reports, and you can only request the Consolidation Journals Report for consolidations using the Transactions method.
Note: If you are using definition access sets to secure your consolidation definitions, you must have the Use privilege to the consolidation definition in order to view the information in reports.

You can also review journal activity for particular periods and balancing segments. The same segment security rules defined for your chart of accounts extend to journals reports.

You can request this information by currency, accounts, and so on. The same segment security rules defined for your chart of accounts extend to trial balance reports.
