  1. Navigate to the General Ledger
    Go to: Home > Accounting > General Ledger.


  1. Filter and Analyze Data
    The report can be filtered by various criteria, such as Account, Cost Center, Party, Project, and Period. This allows you to view transactions for specific accounts or timeframes.


  1. Group and Summarize Data
    You can group the report by Account, Voucher/Transaction, or Party to get a summarized view of transactions. The report also shows opening and closing balances for each group.


  1. Multi-Currency Support
    For businesses operating in multiple currencies, the General Ledger allows you to view amounts in your company’s base currency or any other currency.




2. Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable (AR/AP)

  1. Access the Reports
    Go to: Accounts > Accounting Statements > Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable.

    You can view outstanding amounts based on Payment Terms, showing invoiced amounts and paid amounts for each term.

    For businesses handling multi-currency transactions, the Revaluation Journals filter ensures accurate reporting of invoice outstandings by accounting for currency conversion differences.

    The report shows Opening Balances, Debit/Credit Totals, and Closing Balances for each account.

  1. Access the Balance Sheet
    Go to: Accounts > Accounting Statements > Balance Sheet.


  1. Analyze Financial Position
    The report allows you to compare values across multiple years, check balances for specific Finance Books or Cost Centers, and view amounts in different currencies.
