General Ledger By Account

The General Ledger By Account report provides a detailed listing of transactions for a user specified General Ledger account and date range.  The Begin and End Dates may be changed to any other values. 

If activity exists for an account before the Begin Date of the report a beginning balance, labeled "Prev Bal", is displayed.  For balance sheet accounts (those with account types of Bank, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Other Current Assets, Fixed Assets, Other Assets, Accounts Payable, Credit Card, Other Current Liabilities, Long-Term Liabilities and Equity) the beginning balance includes the balance rolled forward from the previous fiscal year plus transactions through the beginning of the current fiscal year up to the Begin Date.  For income statement accounts (all other account types) the beginning balance is calculated from the beginning of the fiscal year to the Begin Date.

The list of accounts displayed may be changed by entering a single account number or by using wildcard characters to select more than one account.  An asterisk "*" matches the rest of the string.  Entering "10*" will cause all accounts beginning with "10" to be displayed.  A question mark "?" replaces a single character.  Entering "1??5" will cause every four-character account whose first character is a "1" and whose last character is a "5" to be listed.

Drilldown, or the ability to take a closer look at the original documents that generated the transactions is available.
