Printing a Financial Statement

Note: The forms mentioned in this Printing a Financial Statement topic are only available to customers who came to version 10 from a previous version. If you are a new customer beginning with version 10, you do not have access to these forms. If you are a new customer, it is recommended that you use Microsoft Excel to setup GL data. For information on how to install and use this addition to Microsoft Excel, see the Infor SyteLine Microsoft Office Integration Guide.
Note: For customers who have access to the Financial Statement forms, before you can print a financial statement, you must have first set it up and defined its columns and lines. For more information, see Financial Statement Setup.

A Report ID must be fully specified in the Financial Statement Definition form before you can generate a report based on it.

Unit codes are included on the report only if Unit Code positions are set up for that report on the Financial Statement Definition form and you select the Unit Code 1-4 Detail check boxes on the output form.

The Actions menu includes these options:

  • Get Group: Displays the Financial Statement Output Get Group form, where you can select a specified group of financial statements to print. Each group of reports is given a number through the Financial Statement Groups form.
  • Print Sort Methods: Generates a report on sorting methods, which you can use to improve printing performance.
  • Background Queue
  • Get Options
  • Store Options

Follow these steps to print a financial statement:

  1. Open the Financial Statement Output form.
  2. Perform one of the following actions:
    • To produce a single report, in the Report ID field, select the ID of the report you want to print.
    • To produce a group of reports, select Actions > Get Group, select the group number of the reports, and click OK.

    The system updates the Financial Statement Output form with all the reports in that group, and you can define each one's output parameters.

  3. Select the check box for each type of detail you want to include in the financial statement.
  4. In the Report Type drop-down list, select the type of report you want to run.
  5. In the Currency drop-down list, select the currency to use. By default, the system produces the report in your domestic currency, but you can change it to a different currency.

  7. In the Site Group field, select the site you want to produce the report for, or, to produce the report for all sites, select All.
  8. From the Line Summary Level drop-down list, select the desired level of output detail for the report:
    • Direct Reports: Displays one line for each account and for each site. If the direct report is an entity, it reports to the current entity and then summarizes all sites for that entity into a single line.
    • Site: Displays one line for each account and for each site.
    • Summary: Displays and summarizes all sites into a single line for each account. Your selection in the Site Group field determines which sites to include. If this is an entity, the report displays all sites that report to the entity.
