G/L Report Parameter Copy (GL08)

The Copy Report Parameters (GL08) program enables you to create a new GL report by copying the parameters for an existing GL Report. Specifically, the parameters created in Maintain Report Parameters (GL05) are copied and put into a new report.

GL08 allows you to perform the following:

  • Copy reports to and from any of the Companies defined in PointForce Enterprise.

    • Note: The GL Account Format and account coding structure must be the same in each Company if you are going to copy existing reports to other Companies.

  • Create new reports that are based on old reports within the same Company.

  • Create backup copies of a report prior to creating a new report thereby allowing you to experiment with changes without losing the original report.

The following list defines every field on GL08:

  • In the From section:

    • Company - enter or select from the query the Company from which you want to copy the report.

    • Report - enter or select from the query the Report No. to be copied. Report numbers are created and maintained in GL05.

  • In the To section:

    • Company - enter or select from the query the Company into which the new report will be created. You can duplicate a report by entering the same Company in this field as entered in the Company field in the From section.

    • Report - enter or select from the query the new Report No. that will be created in the 'To' Company. Note: The Report No. cannot already exist in the GL Reports File of the 'To' Company.
