Financial Report Writer
Financial Report Writer is a group reporting solution that combines the existing Financials reporting functionality into a single user experience. It includes multi-entity and multi-domain reporting that lets you map charts of accounts and approximates consolidation results.
Financial Report Writer aggregates financial statements that are built on:
• A common chart of accounts (COA) including all dimensions available in Financials such as domain, entity, layer, GL account, sub-account, cost center, project, SAFs, intercompany, and currency
• A common currency—the presentation currency
• A common calendar
Financial Report Writer presents the financial data in a hierarchy, which can include multiple GAAP views.
General Ledger Report Writer
The GL Report Writer lets you run financial reports previously created in an earlier version of a QAD ERP application. You can report on transactions in the official layer of the current domain, and in the base and account currencies.
Note: You cannot use the GL Report Writer to report on SAFs, daybooks, layers, or transactions in the statutory currency.
The function uses GL data from COA elements and entities as the basis for reporting. This gives you the flexibility to define your financial reports based on the criteria you set.
The GL Report Writer uses its own set of budget data that can be defined using GLRW Budget Maintenance (25.17.4.1), and retrieves actuals data from the posting history table.
The GL Report Writer uses its own database tables, based on account balance information from standard general ledger tables, and based on transactions in the official layer only. The GL Report Writer tables store financial balances, rather than individual GL transactions. The system retrieves pre-calculated information rather than making calculations when running the report. As a result, the system generates reports faster.
