Retrieve Debit /Credit balance

Question

Hi
I have loaded my values with debits and credits. credits are negative
So here is an example of my data, i'm just showing the account dimension and the amount.
Account............Amount
121000..............1000.00
121000..............-2000.00
So if I pull the balance for this account I get -1000.00
But I need to be also able to pull the debit or the credit amount on it own.
Example
Debit movement...........1000
Credit Movement........._-2000_
Total for account..........-1000
is it possible to pull the debit or credit amount??

Hi Louis,
As nilanjan rightly pointed, you need to maintain the Flow Dimension. It is of Type "Sub Table". With this, you can differentiate the data depending on Debit n Credit.
For Example. If you maintain a Sub Table Dimension like (Small example)
ID            ParentH1
All          
Credit      All
Debit       All
You can show the credit n debit like:
Account        Flow        Value
121000          Debit        1000
121000          Credit       -2000
and when you dont want to show the difference, you can show something like this:
Account        Flow        Value
121000          All           -1000
I hope this will help you. May be you can research more on the Flow (Sub Table) Dimension.
