You can see how a transaction will affect the account balances in your general ledger by viewing the detail accounting lines for the transaction as balanced accounting entries (debits equal credits) or T–accounts.

To view accounting lines:

1. Query the expenditure transaction you want to view.

2. From the Expenditure Items window, choose View Accounting from the Tools menu.
You see the View Expenditure Accounting window.
Note: The View Expenditure Accounting window is a folder form that you can customize to display additional columns.

3. (Optional) To view the accounting detail for the selected line as T–accounts, choose T–Accounts. In the Options window that opens, select from the Default Window poplist, and then choose from the window buttons to drill down in General Ledger.

 

Depending on the nature of the originating Projects transaction, drilling down from General Ledger will open the Project Expenditure Accounting or Project Revenue Accounting window.
From the Project Expenditure Accounting or Project Revenue Accounting window, you can drill down even further to view detail transactions or you can choose to view the underlying transaction accounting.

To drill down to detail transactions or to view transaction accounting:
1. From the Project Expenditure Accounting or Project Revenue Accounting window, select a detail accounting line.
2. Choose the Show Transaction button to view detail transactions.
3. Choose the Show Transaction Accounting button to view the transaction accounting.
