Reports

The following table describes some of the key reports in financial reporting.

Report	Description
Adjust Cost - Item Entries	Adjusts inventory values in value entries so that you use the correct adjusted cost for updating the general ledger and so that sales and profit statistics are up to date. The cost adjustment forwards any cost changes from inbound entries, such as those for purchases or production output, to the related outbound entries, such as sales or transfers.
Trial Balance	Shows the chart of accounts with balances and net changes. You can choose to see a trial balance for selected dimensions. You can use the report at the close of an accounting period or fiscal year.
Trial Balance by Period	Shows the opening balance by general ledger account, the movements in the selected period of month, quarter, or year, and the resulting closing balance.
Trial Balance/Budget	Shows a trial balance in comparison to a budget. You can choose to see a trial balance for selected dimensions. You can use the report at the close of an accounting period or fiscal year.
Detailed Trial Balance	Shows a detail trial balance for selected general ledger accounts. You can use the report at the close of an accounting period or fiscal year. You can define which accounts are included in the report by setting filters.
Trial Balance/Previous Year	Shows a trial balance in comparison to the previous year's figures. You can choose to see a trial balance for selected dimensions. You can use the report at the close of an accounting period or fiscal year. Note that the previous year means the same period one calendar year earlier.
Account Schedule	Account schedules can be used to display the general ledger accounts in a different way than in the chart of accounts. For example, account schedules can be used for reports on key figures.
