Your client wants to turn on summary for GL posting, but they want the Subledger Accounting to contain every transaction unsummarized for detailed analysis and drill down. How do you accomplish this?

The requirement is to maintain detailed transactions in Subledger Accounting (SLA) for drill-down while posting summarized journals to the General Ledger (GL). This is achieved through two main settings. First, to ensure full detail is preserved in SLA, the "Merge Matching Lines" option in the Journal Line Rule must be turned off. This prevents SLA from combining lines that have the same attributes, thus preserving each transaction's detail. Second, the transfer to GL is configured to summarize these detailed SLA entries. Option A addresses the critical first step of ensuring the subledger data remains unsummarized.

B. Turn off the summarize flag in the journal line rule: There is no single "summarize flag" on a journal line rule; summarization is controlled by options like "Merge Matching Lines".
C. Write a custom report: This is a reporting solution and does not configure the actual posting behavior between the subledger and the general ledger.
D. Turn on detailed posting for GL in the ledger setup: This would accomplish the opposite of the requirement, as it would send detailed, unsummarized journals to the GL.
E. Extract distribution accounting entries: This describes a method for data analysis, not a configuration for controlling the summarization of GL posting.
