- date ranges: date from which the records are selected (it cannot correspond to a period start) and date up to which the records are selected (can only correspond to a period end),

Display criteria:

• currency of amounts display.
  Requested exchange currency. Currency in which the balance will be converted. The converted amounts are displayed in the "conversion" columns. If no currency has been selected, the "conversion" columns are not loaded.
   The entered currency is not used as a filter but as a conversion data. The recovery grid displays all the transactions for the selected period, irrespective of their original currency.
  The conversion is performed based on the type of exchange rate entered for the CNSTYPCUR parameter value ("Common Data" chapter, group CUR "Currency management").
  Based on the screen code used (to be set up by the GESGTC function), it is possible to display the amounts in the original currency, in ledger currency and in conversion currency.
  
• pre-setup inquiry screen: The preset screen codes (via the GESGTC function for the BAF code) are selected.

On entering the account inquiry function, the parameters stored with code STD(the whole columns are displayed) are recalled by default.
If the criteria are not stored in an STD memo, the submitted default values are the default accounting site for the user (and the corresponding company), the date range matching the last open fiscal year, and the default currency of the company.

All these criteria can be saved by the user under a code XXX on clicking the "Memo" button. To re-display criteria saved under memo code YYY, click on button "Call" and enter YYY.
