Report Overview

  • NOTE - Due to the size of these reports, any columns that do NOT contain data will be hidden when generated 'EXCEL(binary)'.

The report module is divided into 4 sections:

Note: The system will remember the settings used the last time the report was run for each individual report. If one has not yet been selected by the user it will default to HTML. This is recorded on the users computer, so this will not 'travel' with the user from computer to computer.

Trial Balance Calculation

You must first calculate a new set of trial balances if any journal entries have been entered since the last trial balance calculation was made. It is necessary to do this prior to generating any published statements or working papers to ensure the most updated information is being conveyed in the reports. Note that the Trial Balance consists of a collection of smaller trial balances that correspond to each type of journal. When you click on the "View Trial Balance Status" button, the software will re-generate all of the sub trial balances which make up the whole. Note: it will take a number of minutes to calculate the Trial Balance. A more detailed explanation of this process can be found on the Trial Balance Calculation page.

Report Selections

When generating a report you are presented with a number of types of selections to choose from. If no selections are made, then all of the funds on file will be included. If selections are made, then the resulting report will be restricted to a subset of the funds on file. As an example, consider the options for a cash journal report. Please note that different reports will have different and possibly fewer selections to choose from. However, the basic principles are the same.

Cash Journal Selection Options

Consider the first 3 boxes which determine what funds will be included on the report. Selections in these boxes involve an and condition. The following examples illustrate this.

  • If no selections were made in boxes 1, 2, and 3, then all funds on file would be included.

  • Select Governmental Activities in box 1 and Debt Service in box 2, then funds categorized as governmental activities and those classified as debt service would be included on the report, and only those funds.

  • If only Debt Service were chosen and nothing in the other boxes, then the report would contain only funds classified as debt service.

  • If Business-Type Activities were selected in box 1, Special Revenue in box 2, and 007 - 0000 in box 3, then all funds and only those funds classified as these selections would be included.

  • You can also make multiple selections from the same box. For example, click on fund 006

- 0000 in box 3. Then press and hold the "Control" key and click on fund 009 - 0000, and do the same for fund 013 - 0000. All three of these funds will appear on the report in addition to any other selections. If you want to include a range of consecutive funds, click on the first fund. Then hold down the Control key and use the down arrow key to slide to the last fund to be included, and release the Control key. All of the funds between the first and the last will be highlighted and thus included.

  • Next consider the Include Transaction Type box. Again you can include all transaction types by making no selections. Or you can select one or more types and include just those. The choices you make here will affect the funds selected above.

  • Click on the down arrow in the Sort By box to see the options.

  • The Format box determines where and how the report will appear. The choices are shown below. The Display format will present the report on the screen. The other selections will format the report for a spreadsheet, and open it in Excel or some other available spreadsheet. The recommended report format is Excel (HTML). It presents the cleanest version of the report and is clear and easy to read.

  • The Date and Time Stamp will add the date and time the report was generated to the heading of the report. The date and time will appear on the upper left portion of the report under the report heading.

  • The For Category coordinates with the JE Category found on the Journal Entry screen. You may enter a category here to restrict the report to that particular category.

  • Clicking on the Submit button will generate the report.

  • If you wish to clear your choices and start over, click on the Reset button.
