You must first format your financial statements in the Report Format Maintenance module prior to using this module. For each account, it will show the beginning balance for the period, activity for the period, and the ending balance for the period. You can use your Balance Sheet report format in this module or format a special report with all account numbers included. You can print this report for closed periods, current periods, and future periods. When you enter this report module, the screen will appear as follows:
The cursor will be positioned at the Company ID (1) prompt. If applicable, use the drop-down menu to select a different Company. The Period (2) field will default to the current open period in the system G/L. You can type an earlier period for the year if applicable. At the Select (3) box fields, if the default period is selected, these fields will not be available. However, if you type an earlier period in that field, you can then access these fields, though you cannot select Next Year if that period is still open in the current year. If you wish to access archived data, click the Previous Year option and the system will display an FYE drop-down menu so you can select a prior year. The Report Type (4) field defaults to Balance Sheet. Wherever this option appears, you can select the most applicable type to avoid choosing the wrong Report Format in the next field. At the Report Format (5) field, use the drop-down arrow to select the applicable report to use. Click the Excel icon to export the data, or click the Print button to print to paper or screen. To exit without printing, click the Cancel button.
