Folders, Reports & Documents > Finance Account Groups

Management reporting is a category in the Finance reports where you can build your own report formats by fiscal year, year-to-date, by customer and by dimension. These reports can be customised to show specific information about your business.

There are two steps to creating a new management report:

Create your finance account groups to define the way you want to sum and show the various totals.
Create the format of your report in finance reports configuration to define the report, which account groups to show in which order, and the basic formatting (font, etc).

This article takes you through step one, creating the finance account groups.

WHAT TYPE OF REPORTS CAN I CUSTOMISE?

If there are specific report formats or account groupings that you need to review, that aren’t covered by a regular Profit and Loss report, this is where you can use the finance account groups & custom reporting formats to configure your own management reports.

Reports you can customise are:

Fiscal report, 12 months (310):

This report shows you your actuals and fills in the rest of the 12 months with a budget you’ve created.

Fiscal report, year-to-date actuals (464):

This is a simple report that shows you the totals from the start of the year:

Period and year-to-date (313):

See a comparison of one period to another, plus the year to date totals.

Period and year-to-date by customer (329):

This is the same as the above but shows the customers.

Statement of accounts by dimensions, 12 months (314):

This is one of the most popular reports as it shows your specified accounts by month and you can also select what dimensions you want to see. Is this example, the ‘client group’ dimension has been selected.

SETTING UP FINANCE ACCOUNT GROUPS

In the settings module > open the folders, reports & documents sub menu > select finance account groups
This is where you create the different groupings in your report. Each group represents a line on your report

There are 3 different options for the reporting line:

Account sum allows you to calculate the total of 1 or a selection of accounts (must be sequential)

Group sum calculates group totals that you’ve already created

Group divide takes 2 accounts and divides them by each other to get a percentage

Notes:

Reverse sign - will make the credits positive and the debits negative. If you use it for one, use it for all
To show a single account on a line, use the account sum type and put the same account in from & to
