G/L
Account Summary Report (Financial Statement)
The G/L Account Summary report shows a summary of your beginning balances with debit and credit changes, the net change in and ending balances for the specified range of accounts. Use this report for reviewing a summary of the activity for all accounts without the detail.
For example, if you want to know if your Accounts Receivables activity is staying about the same as it has been (i.e., receipts on open invoices are equaling new billings) or if the balance is increasing/decreasing from period to period, you can analyze this report and investigate any unusual activity by reviewing the Detailed General Ledger Report.
When you display or print a financial statement, Sage 50 displays the following options:
- Dates: You have the choice of a range of periods, current period, or current three periods. If you select a range, use the From: and To: list boxes.
- Print Page Numbers: Checking this will print page numbers on the top right corner of the page. Both the page number and the number of pages are indicated. For example, if you are looking at page 2 of a 13-page document, it will display on the report as "Page: 2 of 13."
- Show Zero Amounts: Select this check box to show accounts with zero amounts.
- Print All Words Capitalized: Select this check box if you want the report to print in all capital letters.
- Right Margin/Left Margin: Enter the size of the margins you want, in inches.
- Center on Page: Select this check box if you want each page of the report to be centered on the page instead of left justified when it is printed.
- Number of Copies: Enter the number of copies you want to print. You can enter any number from 1 to 99.
