➊View the reports

Click on My data - Run reports to take a look at some standard reports that demonstrate different features:

  • Trial balance - showing the consolidated trial balance, typically used to check imported data. All layouts are using standard reports.
  • Profit & Loss - showing the consolidated Profit & Loss statement, both actual and planned. It uses calculated fields and shows standard reports as well as drilldown reports.
  • Profit & Loss - showing the the consolidated Profit & Loss statement, as per EBITDA and EBIT, both actual and planned. The EBIT coding is derived from the Chart of Accounts.
  • Profit & Loss PER/YTD - showing the consolidated Profit & Loss statement, for the selected period, Year-To-Date, and Full Year. It requests the user to select a financial period, which drives the logic of period-discrete and year-to-date reporting.
  • Revenue analysis - showing various types of revenue analysis using charts.
