GL Reporting Overview
General ledger reports use information from the general
ledger to prepare financial statements. The general ledger receives and
stores business transactions from other applications—for example, Accounts
Payable—and general ledger reports present that information in the form
of financial statements.
Note
You can create a shortcut to print a group (series) of
reports at one time using the menu selection Series
of Reports Tab on the Reports menu.
Summary Information
To improve performance on several reports, summary tables
are updated whenever you add, edit, or delete general ledger transactions.
Balances from tables are used to display results for reports and inquiries.
The following summary tables are used: tblGLActuals,
tblGLBudgets.
The summary tables affect the following reports: Trial
Balance, Working Trial Balance, Balance Sheet, Budget Analysis, P &
L, P & L Variance, 3 Month P & L, 12 Month P & L, Annualized
P & L, Comparative P & L, and the corresponding departmental reports.
Report Formats
Prior to generating any of these reports, report
formats can be customized using the Report
Formats Tab. This set up is optional and you can bypass it if you
do not plan to generate or print customized general ledger reports. Standard
general ledger reports remain available regardless of whether you complete
this set up.
eFinancials is shipped with the following default
formats, which provide sample report format setups:
- Chart of Accounts
(COA) format
- Profit and Loss
(P&L) format
- Balance Sheet
(BalSht)
Note
Prior to running reports, you must have made current
selections using the
menu option.
