To add a Running total, **click the last GL Account** that you want included for the Running Total to open its GL Account record. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/image-2P6YBIUY.png) 2. When the GL Account record opens, navigate to the 'Report Settings' tab and check the 'Show Running Total' checkbox. Additional fields will appear where you will fill out the necessary information. In the example below, all GL Accounts mapped as child accounts of 4110 Food Sales were used to calculate the Running Total. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/image-UPY4DWPQ.png) Creating a Running Total helps to keep the P&L categorized by different kinds of sales through parent-child GL accounts. ### Percentage Of Settings Adjusting the 'Percent Of' Settings can determine whether the '% Based On' column will display no percentage, percentage of the GL Type, or percentage of the GL Account. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/5c9d1111-0c69-4e96-8910-d7f2750fdc9d/Images/Documentation/image-RW2CYXTS.png) ### GL Account Remapping Remap GL Accounts that were connected with the wrong GL Type or that should be connected to a different GL Type by clicking the GL Account within the report.
