Read financial and operational reports
Reports depend on data, period and filters. Trial balance reviews accounts; balance sheet shows financial position; profit and loss measures a period; cash flow explains movements.

Before you start
Select the correct company and verify permissions. Learn in a test workspace; posting or restoring can change actual data.
Workflow
- Choose the report and set company, period, branch and currency where available.
- Read the report basis, such as document or posting date, before comparing reports.
- Open amount details or source where available to explain totals.
- Export or print after review and check the period and filters shown on the copy.
Watch this distinction
Do not compare a balance at a date with period activity without accounting for the difference. An empty report may reflect filters or no transactions.
Verify the result
Reopen the record and check saved values and state. For financial operations, compare the document with the relevant movement and report before continuing.
