Printable financial reports¶

Next to the interactive Dynamic Reports, a set of wizard-driven reports produces a fixed PDF (and, where installed, an XLSX) document for filing, for the auditor, or for the board. You choose the period and the options in a dialog, and the document is generated as it will be archived.

Accounting ‣ Reporting ‣ Financial Reports

Audit Reports¶

Accounting ‣ Reporting ‣ Audit Reports

Daily Reports¶

Accounting ‣ Reporting ‣ Daily Reports

Cash Book — the movements of the cash journals.
Bank Book — the movements of the bank journals.
Day Book — all movements of a period, day by day.

Common options¶

Most of the wizards share the same options:

Start Date / End Date: The period covered. Balance-sheet style reports use the end date only.
Target Moves: All Posted Entries (the default) or All Entries, which also includes unposted ones.
Journals: The journals to include. Leave it on all journals for a complete report.
Accounts, Partners, Analytic Accounts: Restrict the report to a selection.
Display Accounts: Whether to print all accounts, only those with movements, or only those with a balance.
Include Initial Balances: Starts the ledger from the opening balance of the period instead of zero.
Sort by: The order of the journal items inside an account (by date or by journal and partner).

Click Print to generate the PDF. When the Accounting XLSX Reports module is installed, the aged balance, general ledger, trial balance, partner ledger, financial, tax and journal audit wizards also offer an XLSX button that produces the same content as a spreadsheet.

Customize the printed statements¶

The structure of the Balance Sheet and the Profit and Loss is stored as a tree of report lines that you can adapt to your chart of accounts. Go to Accounting ‣ Configuration ‣ Financial Reports ‣ Account Reports and open a report.

Each line has:

a Report Name and a Parent, which place it in the tree;
a Type, saying what the line sums up: a set of Accounts, a set of Account Types, another Report Value, or the sum of its children;
a Sign, to reverse the sign of the balance when the report should show it the other way round;
a Display Detail option, choosing whether the underlying accounts are printed under the line;
a Style and a Sequence, controlling how and where the line is printed.

Warning

These reports are the ones used for the statutory statements. Change them only in agreement with your accountant, and check the totals of the modified report against the Trial Balance afterwards.
