# Drill-To

Last modified July 21, 2026

> Use Drill-To to analyze underlying transactions across different data modules.

**Drill-To** is an advanced drilldown feature that allows users to drill down across multiple modules. For example, users can begin with a report showing values from the *General Ledger*, and then drill down to see the underlying values from the *Accounts Receivable* sub-ledger.

To use the *Drill-To* feature, you must configure the *Drill-To Definition* in the report template. *Drill-To Definitions* must be created on the cell level, by selecting a cell that will be the common dimension between the two different modules. For instance, the shared dimension could be the *Account* number or the *Voucher* number. When the *Drill-To* feature is used, **Report Designer** will use the specified dimension to retrieve entries from the sub-ledger.

The figure below shows the interfaces involved in configuring the **Drill-To** feature.

|       | **Button**                | **Function**                                                                                                                                              |
|-------|---------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **1** | **Drill-To tab**          | This tab is only available when you have selected a cell.                                                                                                 |
| **2** | **Use default drilldown** | Select this checkbox to apply the default drilldown option. Deselect this checkbox to create a customized drill-to definition.                            |
| **3** | **Drill-To item**         | A list of *Drill-To definitions* applied to the specific cell is generated. You can edit or delete the definition by clicking on the appropriate buttons. |
| **4** | **Create**                | This button will create a new *Drill-To* definition and open the Drill-To Builder.                                                                        |

You can configure the *Drill-To Definition* through the **Drill-To Builder**. The configuration is required so that **Report Designer** is able to filter through to the proper sub-ledger using parameters or drill source dimensions.

|-------|----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **1** | **Name**             | Create a descriptive name so you can easily identify the *Drill-To Definition*.                                                                                                                                                                            |
| **2** | **Search**           | Search for data items in your ERP system.                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| **3** | **Module list**      | In this section, the selection of *Modules* is displayed. From the list of *Modules*, drag dimensions into the *Drill-To* details and filters section to configure the *Drill-To Definition*.                                                              |
| **4** | **Drill-To details** | Data items can be dragged into this section to create column headers in the resulting *Drill-To* worksheet. The column headers can be reordered by dragging the header title. Moreover, the data item can be removed by clicking on the header title once. |
| **5** | **Drill-To filters** | Data items can be dragged into the filters section so that the *Drill-To Definition* can be configured to filter to the correct detailed transactions.                                                                                                     |

When using the **Lookup** button in the *Drill-To* filters, you have these options:
