Business Report
General Ledger Menu -> Reports
-> Business Report
The Business Report is a versatile program that offers control
over the contents and layout of financial reports, such as a Sales
Performance Report, or Cash Position Report.
Unlike the Balance Sheet and Income Statement programs, this
program does NOT require that the General Ledger be summarized
before printing the report.
Therefore the step Summarize G/L For Financial
Statements can be skipped and because this step is omitted, the
ratios and period comparisons cannot be calculated, but the report
is faster.
For confidential purposes, special Security
Roles can be defined, limiting access to this report through
Menu Security.
- Setting Up the Layouts
- Each Business Report requires that a statement layout be
designed in Statement Layouts before the
report is generated.
Note: All Business Reports must be setup as Type "O"
(Other).
Cash Position Report
- To produce an accurate Cash Position Report, begin at date
01/01/1901 and print up to the current date. The date range
selected is very important to the interpretation of the
report.
The Business Report can be generated at any time, for any date
range and for any layout.
The prompts are:
-

layout codes in the drop-down list as setup in Statement Layouts.
Only Type O (Other) layouts can be used for this report.
Note: Report layouts that have been designed as divisional
layouts in Statement Layouts cannot be
used for this business report.
The layout description will print on the financial document as
the report title.
DIVISION, "ALL" OR "SEL"
