When you are doing analysis in the general ledger you might use the trial balance list page. There was a handy parameter added in one of the R3 CU’s that allow you to split out the dimension into their segments. This is great if you want to export the data to Excel to do some analysis. The parameter is called display account number segments in separate columns.
Here is a quick overview.
