The ctcLink General Ledger application provides a series of inquiries that enable you to review ledger summary and detail information based on selected ChartField combinations. These inquiries use several successive views that enable you to access journal line details. The ledger inquiry also enables you to drill down across products from account balances in ctcLink General Ledger to specific transaction entries in other ctcLink Financial and Distribution products.
ctcLink General Ledger provides these inquiries: journal inquiry, ledger inquiry, ledger group inquiry, ledger comparisons, analytic charts, imported accounting entries inquiries, and entry event budget and general ledger adjustment accounting inquiries. After you run an inquiry, you can specify criteria to narrow your inquiry results.
In this topic, you use the Ledger Inquiry page to view detail and summary ledger information. You also use the Journal Inquiry page to view journal details and this is covered in its own QRG (see Journal Inquiry).
