You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZD General Ledger Inquiry
  • ZZ GL Local Configuration

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

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.

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 Journal Inquiry page to view journal details.
