General

  1. Click the General tab in the Financial Statement Rows (FSR) dialog.
  2. Specify this information:
    Type

    The type of row you require. The following types of row are available: Heading, Page Heading, Line, Continuation and Totals.

    Use blank heading rows to space the report.

    Line Name

    The description to be printed on the financial statement for the line. This is required for Line and Total row types. If you do not require a line description, enter '-' to leave the text column blank. If the Account Details option is set, you should also enter '-' here to print each account name as the line description.

    Leave this name blank on Continuation lines.

    Account Code /To

    The account code, or range of account codes, to be reported on this line of the report. If only one account code is required, then enter the code in the From field. You must select at least one account code on row types Line and Continuation.

    The transactions for the accounts in the range are accumulated and printed as a single line on the report, unless you set the Account Details option to print each account on a separate line.

    Selection 1-3

    If you are using a row type of Line or Continuation, you can define up to three selection criteria to restrict the transactions selected for the accounts identified on the row.

    You can pick from a large number of transaction details to restrict the transaction.

    Note:  Only transactions that match all of the selection criteria are included in the row.
    Selection From/To 1-3

    If you have chosen a selection dimension, you must enter a value, or range of acceptable values, for the dimension. For example, if the selection dimension is Ledger Transaction Analysis Dimension 2, you would enter the range of acceptable analysis codes.

    You can use masking to define the selection. Enter '*' asterisks for the characters you want to mask. For example, enter AA*** to select code beginning with AA, followed by any three characters.

    Normal Sign

    Select Debit or Credit on line types Line and T1 to T7 Totals to indicate the normal sign for the type of accounts chosen on the line. Leave this blank on other line types. Values are shown as positive if they have the sign chosen here, and negative if they have the opposite sign. Continuation lines always have the same value as the main line.

    For example, if you have chosen a range of expense accounts, you would select Debit as the normal sign. If the expense accounts had an overall credit total, it would be printed as a negative value to indicate it had the opposite sign to the one expected.

    Account Details

    Select this option to print each account in the account code range as a separate line on the report, rather than accumulating them all into a single line.
