Depending on institution policy, some accounts may be pooled together for reporting purposes
The summarization of pooled accounts is not embraced by every institution running Colleague, but it is a practice that some account managers embrace for helping to organize related accounts and budgeting.
For example, an institution might chose to group all travel and related expenses for a department. Rather than looking at each of the sub accounts that make up the spending, department chairs or budget managers might want to only see the top line number. In this case, the specific travel related GL accounts (i.e. in-state vehicle use, out-of-state lodging, meals) would be hidden from view (but available to be expanded).
Where Can I Find This?
Locate the System Settings on the General tab under Admin > Settings.
Note: System configuration settings are specific to each institution, and so each implementation will contain documentation within its instance of Clarity containing the details about how Clarity has been deployed.
