Use the Financial Reports program to print GL reports (such as balance sheets or profit and loss statements). They can be printed for any given period based on the financial reports the user has created.
Reports are printed by report groups. You can enter up to 26 report groups, and a report may be printed for each group entered. A default option displays all valid report groups automatically.
Templates that store "current period" (or similar values like "system date") resolve to the "current period at the time the report is run" rather than what the "current period" was at the time the template was created. For example: If you save a template for the Financial Reports and select "Current Period" for the Period field, when that template is selected to run again (either manually or via Job Stream) the period is determined using the current period in the Company Periods & Ending Dates F/M (GLF970) when the report is run not the period when the template was created.
Access this program by choosing General Ledger-->End of Period-->Financial Reports.
