Comparing Financial Statements and Financial Tables

There are many similarities between the three report writing facilities. Financial Tables is most like Financial Statements; Financial Table Formats corresponds to Financial Statement Layouts and Financial Table Rows to Financial Statement Rows.

In Financial Statements, you specify the individual lines or rows of the report, but the columns are predefined in Column Headings. Financial Tables allows you to specify the content of both the vertical 'columns' and horizontal 'rows'. You can use account codes to govern the columns and analysis codes to govern the rows, or vice versa. The columns, however, need not be taken directly from the ledger but may be calculations derived from other columns.

The table can have up to 500 rows, and up to 50 columns, 18 of which can be printed.
