For complex financial reports that will be run regularly, save the report after you're done setting it up. The next time you're ready to run the report, you only have to change the As of date before running the report.
Time period
You can use one of the pre-defined reporting periods available from the Reporting Period and As of Date boxes, or create your own reporting period using the Start Date and End Date boxes.
In the Time period section, do one of the following:
- Use the Reporting period dropdown list to select the reporting period. Either enter a date in the As of date field or use the calendar tool to select a date.
- Enter a specific Start date, End date, or both. Alternatively, use the calendar tool to select the desired dates.
If you complete all the time period fields (that is, if you fill in the Reporting period, As of date, Start date, and End date fields), Sage Intacct generates your report based on the start and end dates. It ignores the As of date.
The following table describes the fields in the Time period section.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|
Reporting period |
These periods are relative to the As of date. All periods begin on the first day of the period, such as the first day of the month, quarter, or year that you select. |
|
As of date |
The date that Intacct will use as a baseline for the reporting period you select. Defaults to today's date. |
|
Start date |
Leave the Start date blank to include all information from the earliest date of your Intacct data up to and including the end date. |
|
End date |
Leave the End date blank to include all information from the start date up to today. |
|
Prompt on run |
Select this checkbox to force Intacct to wait for you (or anyone using this report) to enter a location, department, and/or time period before it will run the report. |
Report filters
You can use the Filters section to filter the list of AP purchase invoices and adjustments by supplier or supplier type. In addition, you can optionally include additional information about how AP purchase invoices were paid, or how adjustments were applied to AP purchase invoices.
- To show results for a specific supplier, select the From Supplier dropdown, and then select the supplier you want the report to include.
- From the From dropdown list, select the object you want.
- From the To dropdown list, select the same object.
- From the From dropdown list, select the object that you want at the beginning of the range.
- From the To dropdown list, select the object that you want at the end of the range.
- To show results for a specific supplier type, select the Supplier Type dropdown, and then choose the supplier type you want the report to include, such as consultants or distributors.
All From and To field pairs work the same way. Use them to get search results in as broad or as fine a range as you need, from everything in the system down to a single specific object.
To run this report for a single object:
To run this report for a specific range of objects:
To run this report for all objects:
Leave both fields blank.
If you have a large number of objects or the report takes too long to process, use the From and To fields to run a series of smaller reports. For example, you can run five reports, one each for objects whose names begin with A-E, then F-J, K-O, P-T, and U-Z.
An object is a catch-all term that refers to any specific data item in the system. Customers, suppliers, items, and accounts are all examples of objects.
- To show results for a specific supplier or range of suppliers, use the Select Supplier list boxes.
- If your company has multiple entities and uses multiple currencies, select the location the report should use (required) and, optionally, the department and base currency the report should use. Also select the locations on which to base the report (irrespective of the location you chose in the preview step).
- Select whether you want to Display Transaction Details for AP purchase invoices and adjustments, such as the account, department, location, allocation, and memo.
- Select whether you want to show details about how AP purchase invoices were paid and how adjustments were applied. If multiple payments were made toward an AP purchase invoice, or if an adjustment was applied to multiple AP purchase invoices, this detail is broken out into several lines.
- To display details about how payments were made (such as the payment method and cheque number), select the Display Payment Details checkbox.
- To display details about where adjustments were applied, select the Show Credit Details checkbox. Selecting this option changes the Paid by column to a Paid by/Paid to column and adds information about the AP purchase invoices to which the adjustment was applied.
- If you do not want the report to display AP purchase invoices that have already been paid, select the Hide Paid Documents checkbox.
- If you want the report to display only AP purchase invoice line items that have been released for payment, check the Show Only Released Line Items checkbox.
