GL: General Ledger Detail Report
Overview
The General Ledger Detail report provides beginning balance amounts, transactions, and ending balance amounts for each selected account for a specific period.
If there are multiple records for the same GL Number and same date, this report will then secondary sort by Log Number.
You can run a detail report or a summary report. The summary report includes only the Debit/Credit (and Net Change, if selected) subtotals and beginning and ending balances. The Detail report also includes transactions.
The report can also be grouped by Log #. Selecting this option for either the Detail or Summary Report will group transactions first by Account Number, then by Log Number.
You can filter, group, and print by Tiers, allowing for total customization of the report. To make filtering easier, for any Tier, you can include All, Pick/Create or Exclude parameters. Using Tier Templates to set up and save report templates makes it easy to generate a specific report each time you need it, without having to recreate the criteria. See Using Tier Templates for more information.
Key Functionality
Type a description to name the report. This description prints above the Report Title.
The Default Company Name for Report is populated from the Company Setup screen. The list contains all companies for which you have security permissions to view. If you have permission for only one company, that will be the only one displayed in the list. If you have permissions to multiple companies, the list will display those companies PLUS the default reporting company.
When discernible, WinTeam will print the appropriate company name and logo on each page; otherwise the Default Company Name will print. That is, if a Company level is included in the tiered section and is displayed in the tiered information at the bottom of the page, then that company's Report Name and Logo (if selected) prints on that page.
If there is not a Company identified in the tier area of the page, then the Default Company Name for Reports is used. The default Company Name and Logo is also used for the Total Enterprise report. For more information see Learning about WinTeam Reports.
