Profit and loss, the balance sheet, the trial balance, and what is owed each way, straight from the books.

Read a report

  1. Press a tab: Profit and loss, Balance sheet, Trial balance, or what is owed by how late, Owed to you and You owe.
  2. Choose the period or the day beside the tabs. They start at This month and Today.
  3. Press an account for its transactions, and a transaction for where it came from.
  4. Press CSV to download the figures.

In more than one currency

  • The figures are in your base currency, each entry at the official rate of its day.
  • Side by side shows each currency's own amounts beside the total. With several branches it reads Currencies side by side.
  • Owed to you and You owe total each currency, then all at that day's official rate.

In more than one branch

  • Reports show the branch chosen at the top, or all branches.
  • With All branches chosen, Branches side by side gives each branch its own column beside the total, on the profit and loss, the balance sheet and the trial balance.
  • Each branch balances on its own. Stock in transit shows what one branch sent and another received, and in the total what is still on the road.
  • Press a branch's figure for that branch's transactions.

More reports

Good to know
