We have a couple of clients using MDA (Multi-dimensional Analysis; the precursor to Analytical Accounting), which I don’t know terribly well. So, when one of them asked for a new SmartList Object to be created which extracts information about General Journals and the related MDA information, I needed to do some exploring of the database to work out the links.

Unfortunately, the links between the GL transactions and MDA are not especially obvious. To verify what I had created I did a search and came across a post from 2011 by Mark Polino which was posting code created by a Jeremy Lowell.

I ended up combining some of the code I had with Jeremy’s code (when I tried just his I was getting duplicate lines) to create the below SQL View. Since writing and giving the view to the client, I’ve spotted a few places where the SQL could be tightened up, but this view has been tested in its current state.
