Generating reports

Accountants Enterprise in Australia only

Reports are produced so you can:

• meet statutory reporting obligations

• be prepared for the management of a client business

• fulfil contractual obligations.

Once all transactions and adjusting journal entries have been recorded in the General Ledger for a client, you can generate reports for them.

When you open the Generating Reports window, the title bar displays the name of the current client ledger. The reports that are listed when the Generating Reports window is first opened for a client are all those that are available for the client’s business entity.

When you launch the Generating Reports window for a client ledger, a list of available reports for the selected client and their business entity are displayed.

The reports are displayed in the following order:

• Compliance Reports (denoted by a hash (#))

• Management Reports (denoted by a dollar sign($))

• all other reports.

All report types are listed in alphabetical order.

From the Reports list, you can:

You can also export, print or preview more than one report at a time.

Selecting reports

A report can be selected (or de-selected) by clicking the checkbox to the left of the report. As soon as one report is selected, the Preview, Print, Export and Deselect All buttons are enabled.

• You can show or hide the left hand pane, by clicking the

  

  button from the toolbar.
