Data Analytics option in the Hamburger Menu is displayed only for engagements that have Analytics license enabled.

To perform journal entry testing, Trial Balance, Chart of Accounts and General Ledger are required.

Sync Data

A banner will be displayed in the Data tab to Sync the data before proceeding with journal entry testing if your engagement meets any of the following criteria:
