Balance Sheet
This section describes the fields and descriptions on the Balance Sheet report.
The Balance Sheet report displays the financial balances of all balance sheet accounts, summarized for the selected fiscal periods.
The report has the following tabs:
- One tab compares the periodic amounts to the year-to-date amounts.
- One tab compares the periodic amounts to the amounts from the corresponding fiscal periods for another year.
The year-end closing account displays the total retained earnings. This amount is based on the year-end closing amount from the previous year plus the total amount of current-year earnings (profit and loss) for the selected fiscal periods.
Your specified reporting structure determines the format of account headers and subtotals on the report. You can display amounts in account, company, or enterprise currency or using a selected reporting currency. Amounts are grouped by currency and company.
- The Movement columns link to the Finance Transactions report.
- The Account column links to the Accounts workspace. The link is based on the account number (for example, 10010).
- The Company title links to the Companies workspace.
The report corresponds to the Print dialog box’s Print Balance Sheet and Print Balance Overview options using the Balance Sheet layout, with one exception—the report does not round off currencies according to rounding rules specified in the application.
