Eli:
Thank you for your continued responses to my many questions. You pointed me in the right direction. I was forgetting about commitment items since we assign a 1-1 relationship between GL account and commitment.
I did find that I was looking to create an alternate commitment hierarchy to use in the drill down reports that we have working against our FM budget and actual data. It took many tries and help from a colleague to discover how to create and add my own commitment control items to the variant hierarchy I had created.
It works wonderfully. Sorry I couldn't communicate more clearly to you what I was needing to do.
Again thanks for your help in pointing me in the right direction....separation of FM and FI
