Description

This is the new and improved version of the Transaction Review dashboard currently running in parallel. This version is reconfigured with the new data sources based on our customer feedback. The view now allows review or multiple entities and departments and includes new totals for Revenue and expense. Balance sheet subcodes are excluded (subcodes > 4000). A new view will be created for viewing those subcodes, as well as a new sheet for viewing details by Billing ID (both to be made available by the end of FY25).

This new view by default, will not display account information. A user must setup a default custom view for their account information. This is meant to improve performance give the large amount of data now available at the individual transaction level. Multiple custom views can be created to allow for ease of navigation.
