Aggregate

Using the button, you can combine all the entries for each company into a single journal entry. This can be extremely useful for customers with extensive histories.

In the application all entries are retained over time so customers can see a comprehensive list of journal entries for all consolidations dating back to the initial use. However, as the list grows, some customers may wish to condense multiple journal entries and that is precisely what the function accomplishes.
