G/L Format File Maintenance - Variance

Program/Screen: IG120T/IG120T04

Description:

Use this screen to set up the sequence for a variance on a financial report.  Typically, you use the G/L Format File Maintenance - Detail/Total screen to set up sequences for variances between two adjacent sequences; however, if the variance you want to calculate is between two disparate sequences on the report, use this screen.
