This report provides a summary of all journal transactions published by an ERP. Usually, these are entered or generated at transaction input for future account balance reconciliation in the official accounting records, such as the general ledger. The filtered information is according to the selected parameters from the New Report page.

It is mandatory to produce a standard Journal Report in varying formats for all countries, which lists all journals for a specific period, usually in journal number order. Some countries require to add a protocol number when the journals are printed and therefore finalized. In some instances, different sort order of the transactions is required. The nature of core transactional data required is broadly the same across all requirements, but different formats allow for the variety of reporting.

To meet the requirements of multiple countries, these report formats should be prepared:

Journal Report - Multiple Currencies

This is a standard journal listing with options to print transaction currency amounts and reporting currency amounts alongside base currency amounts.

Debits and Credits are in separate columns.

Sort order: The sort order of the transactions in the body of the report is Journal Line Number within Journal Number.

Summarization: Totals are required for each Journal, and grand totals are required at the last page of the report.

Journal Report - Grouped by Journal Type

This journal listing groups journals according to Journal Type (Book/Budget/Ledger).

Debits and Credits are in separate columns.

Sort order: The sort order of the transactions in the body of the report is Journal Line Number within Journal Number within Journal Type.

Summarization: Summaries are required for each Journal and for each Journal Type. Grand totals are required at the last page of the report.

Journal Report (Daybook) - Multiple Currencies

A further format is required which omits the Protocol Number, but which is in all other respects identical to Report Format 1 (Journal Report - Multiple Currencies).

Journal Report (Daybook) - With Dimensions
