Digits of account number of Average Daily Ratio

The average daily ratio assigns a percentage by calculating the sum of the selected GL accounts and dividing the calculated sum by the grand total of all of the GL accounts that are included in the report.

Example: Jane wants to know the percentage that is contributed by accounts that belong to the general fund by department code, specifically, she is looking for the percentage contributed by accounts that begin with 10-31. She sets the Digits of Account Number of Average Daily Ratio to the number 4. She chooses the number 4 because the fund is the first two digits in the account mask and the department code is the next 2 digits. This is a simplified example of how this feature works...

The account sums amounts for accounts that begin with 10-31, 10-32, 10-40, and 10-44. When the first 4 digits in the 10-31 account changes to 10-32 the report prints a total for the account segments that begin with 10-31. Then, it lists the amounts for all of the accounts that begin with 10-32. When the last 10-32 account prints, the report prints the 10-32 total and starts printing amounts for accounts that begin with the next value, in this case, 10-40.

Jane sees the percent contributed for 10-31 is 8.33%, or the 10-31 account total [250.00] divided by the grand total [3,000].
