Understanding the HUMGL015 Transaction Detail Report

What is it for?

Use the HUMGL015 to see where your account balances came from. It "explains" each total for a given period in the HUMGL005 by showing the specific underlying transaction activity for that period. The report serves the same purpose as the AM091 in FRS.

How do I run it?

  • Business Unit: accept default HMCMP.
  • Fiscal Year/Accounting Period: choose the period in which you want to examine activity. The report is not cumulative; it shows only activity posted in the selected period.
  • Department: specify your own department ID (Dnnnnn).
  • Account Range: accept default (all revenues and expenditures).

Leave all other fields blank, to get all funds, all programs/classes/projects for your department. If you are only interested in a single value for any of these, you may specify it.

What do I see?

Rows

Each line in the report represents a financial transaction at the lowest level available to you in PS Finance. This varies by subsystem: for instance: purchasing information is highly detailed; appearing at the PO line level; while payroll information only appears at the journal line level, summarized to chartfield combination rather than by individual. Where activity moves through multiple ledgers, as in purchasing, you will see the movement out of one ledger and into another as two separate transactions.

Subtotals appear on account, fund, and department.
