Journal Inquiry
Purpose: Use the Journal Inquiry page to view detail and summary journal information in ctcLink.
Audience: Finance Staff.
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.

- If you have run this process or report in the past, select the Find an Existing Value tab to enter an existing Run Control ID and select the Search button. If this is the first time running this process or report, select the Add a New Value tab to create a new Run Control ID and select the Add button.
- NOTE: It is important to note that Run Control IDs cannot be deleted. Do not include spaces in your Run Control. We encourage the Run Control ID to have the same process naming convention but unique to the step; because of this, including your institution code and a short process description in the Run Control ID is recommended--e.g., JRNL_INQ (College, Process).
