GL Reports
The QAD General Ledger provides up-to-date, accurate information to generate all daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual corporate and governmental reports required to analyze the state of the business. The system provides a wide range of analytical reports. The budgeting, GL activity, and cash flow reports let you view and manage account balances in the general ledger. The GL transaction reports let you monitor transactions in the general ledger. Running reports by daybooks lets you group, analyze, and report on similar transactions.
GL reporting can be detailed or summarized, and includes information on one or a range of entities. In addition, you can define supplementary analysis fields (SAFs) to fine-tune transaction reporting. SAFs provide the basis for powerful and flexible financial reporting and analysis. You can define SAFs based on your unique reporting requirements. For more information on SAFs, see Supplementary Analysis Fields.
All postings on GL accounts are summarized in history tables, updated by the History daemon. Within the GL reports, projects are used to provide specific reporting on activities, such as engineering design work or production rework.
Running reports by daybooks lets you group, analyze, and report on similar transactions.
GL reports are grouped as follows:
• Reports that describe data related to chart of account elements. See Master Data Reports.
• Reports and views on GL transactions. See GL Transaction Activity Reports and GL Transaction Activity Views.
• Reports and views for detailed transactional analysis—project, cost center, and SAF. See Analytical Transaction Reports and Analytical Transaction Views.
• Budgeting reports, which are described with other budgeting topics. See Budget Reports.
• GL closing reports. See GL Closing Reports.
