Result

The respective financial reports and accounting reports are generated according to the rules and values that you have defined in this procedure.

Reports based on these filters have the following features:

  • The logical operator between the filters – that is, between the rows in the definition table – is AND not OR.

  • Any filter settings that were made against the All Rows option affect both accounting entries in the report (BP row and row).

  • In the balance sheet, trial balance, and profit and loss statement, the printed/printable report's selection criteria shows the filters on reference fields and/or user-defined values that were used to generate the report.

  • In the general ledger and document journal, the reference fields and user-defined values are displayed in the detailed views of the report results. You can activate/deactivate the display of these fields in the Form Settings window in exactly the same way as you can for standard fields.
