Procedure

  1. In Measured Quantity, select Balance Amount.
  2. For a balance amount measured quantity, select any of the following options:

    • Track Virtual Balances — When selected, the amount available in any virtual aggregated G/L balance is tracked. For example, for a subscriber virtual balance, this includes shared group aggregated G/L balances. If Track Balances With No Limit is not selected, virtual balances are not tracked.
    • Track Actual Currency Only — If selected, only actual currency balances are tracked.

    • To select a balance template, click Use Balance, and select the associated Balance.
