Posting reports - Management

The Posting Reports option allows you to generate reports for:

a particular period,

a range of periods.

Trial Balance, Schedules, Nominal Ledger

When you select one of these options the Posting Report screen is displayed. How you complete this determines the postings included in the report.

Management period or range of management periods

To print the report for a period you must tick the Management report field or any adjustments are ignored and closing stock adjustments, etc. do not appear on the report.

When you tick the Management report field and press OK, you are offered a list of the management periods. Click select when the period for which you want to generate the report is highlighted. The from and to fields will be completed for you.

To generate a report for a range of management periods (e.g. if you have been preparing monthly accounts but want a report for the first 6 months) complete the from and to dates as you require. You may use the magnifying glasses $image\ebd_24.gif$ to help you complete the fields.

The report uses the system generated opening balances from the first period specified and the closing adjustments from the last period specified. Any postings in Management Adjustments between these two periods will be ignored.

Entire period

To print the report for the entire year do not ask for management report and leave the from and to fields blank. This is because once the entire year has been completed postings in the adjustments slots are no longer applicable.

Posting list

To print a Postings List for specific management periods alter the from and to fields to the dates you require. You can use the magnifying glasses $image\ebd_25.gif$ to help you complete the from and to fields.

It is not possible to enter the management report field as this option intentionally ignores all adjustments (such as stock, accruals and prepayments). A list of adjustments can be obtained from the Management Adjustments List option.

Management Adjustments List

This option only generates reports where Management Accounts have been prepared. It produces a list of adjustments made for the selected period(s).

VAT reports

To print VAT Reports for specific management periods complete the screen in the same way as you would for an annual client. You can use magnifying glasses to list your management periods.

This option does not allow you to generate management reports, as adjustments should not be relevant for VAT purposes.
