General Ledger Report Writer

MYOB EXO Business provides you with the ability to generate a variety of reports such as the GL Graph, GL Trial Balance and GL Transaction Batch Listing. You need reports as a reference for yourself as well as to provide your financiers and government authorities with the financial performance and position of your organization.

The GL Report Writer enables you to report on transactions that have been posted to the General Ledger. It is period-driven in the same way as the transactions in the General Ledger being reported on.

The Report Writer is set up in a tabulated format with rows and columns. The rows determine the content by General Ledger account or group of accounts. The columns determine the periods or budget. The report is written in a sequential order both in terms of the rows and the columns. You need to define the sequence of actions to take place, dependent on the numbering of the rows and columns. It is recommended that the first draft of the report has the rows and columns numbered in a way (say increments of 10) that allow you to insert rows or columns at a later date.
