  • Select Active account on lot if the amounts should be transferred to the customer account that is currently active on the lot.

    • You can view the current active account on a lot using the Account Maintenance window (UB> Maintenance> Account> Lot tab).

• The Summary Report will only display the net effect on the general ledger accounts. If transaction line items create a wash on a general ledger account, that general ledger account will not display on the report. The summary report will display the general ledger account number, general ledger account description, debit amount and credit amount. The report will be grouped and totaled by fund and will also display a report total on the debit and credit columns.
• The Detail Report will display every line item of the transaction, not just the net effect. The detail report will display the account number, customer number, utility billing service number, special charge code, general ledger account description, debit amount and credit amount.
• The Summary Report debit and credit report total amounts may not balance between the summary by GL account report and the summary by transaction type report because the summary report only displays the net effect on the general ledger account in a grouping. Since the two summary reports group the general ledger accounts differently, certain transactions may not wash in both reports. The detail report credit and debit report total amounts will always balance between the two reports.
• Once a Report Type is selected for a GL Distribution report, that report type will be automatically set as the default for all UB GL Distribution reports.

• Select Send PDF to Job Viewer to print the report in the default Springbrook format.
