Reporting Manager Overview

The Reporting Manager feature is used to create customized reports based on pre-programmed report types (revenue versus expense, trial balance, revenue analysis and expense versus budget). The Reporting Manager feature has two steps; create a report template (for example, quarterly or fiscal period reports) using the Reporting Tools palette (GL> Reporting Tools> Reporting Manager) and then generate a report using the Reports palette (GL> Reports> Reporting Manager).

Create the report (GL> Reporting Tools> Reporting Manager)

Reporting Manager reports are set up using the Reporting Tools palette (GL> Reporting Tools> Reporting Manager). When you set up a report using the Reporting Manager Maintenance window (GL> Reporting Tools> Reporting Manager), you can select how the report will sort, the level of detail that will display on the report and whether or not uncommitted transactions or inactive GL accounts will be included. When the report is generated, you will be able to filter the journal entries that display on the customized report by fiscal period and year, ALFRE designation of the GL accounts (asset, liability, fund balance, revenue or expense), the module that was used to generate the journal entry or GL account number.

Generate the report (GL> Reports> Reporting Manager)

Once the customized report has been created, generate the report using the Reports palette (GL> Reports> Reporting Manager). You can filter the journal entries that display by fiscal period and year, ALFRE designation of the GL accounts (asset, liability, fund balance, revenue or expense), the module that was used to generate the journal entry or GL account number.
