Sales Register report
The Sales Register report displays the invoices you sent to customers in the specified time period, and any account adjustments that were entered. Each transaction that's listed shows the date, customer ID and name, invoice or adjustment number, due date, description (if any), amount, and amount paid.
Using the report, you can:
- View invoices and adjustments
- See the payment details for invoices, including the payment method and date
- See credit details, including which invoices a particular adjustment was applied to
- See subtotals of invoice amounts by customer or location
In the HTML view, the dates in the date column are links that enable you to drill down to the corresponding transaction.
For information on terms that may differ in your location, see Terminology across locales.

Select the reporting period from the dropdown menu, or enter the start and end dates you want the report to cover. If you do not specify a reporting period, the system generates a report for the current month to date.
You can specify either the reporting period or the start and end dates, but not both.

You can use trial-and-error to get the precise results you want. Just fill in the desired fields, and select View to see the report. If the results aren't what you want, select Customize to return to the report setup page and refine the report further. Repeat this process until you're satisfied.
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 invoices and adjustments by customer or customer type. In addition, you can optionally include additional information about how invoices were paid, or how adjustments were applied to invoices.
- To show results for a specific customer, select the From Customer dropdown list, and then select the customer 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 customer type, select the Customer type dropdown list, and then select the customer type you want the report to include.
- Select whether you want to Display transaction details for invoices and adjustments, such as the account, department, location, allocation, and memo.
- Select whether you want to show details about how invoices were paid and how adjustments were applied. If multiple payments were made toward an invoice, or if an adjustment was applied to multiple invoices, this detail is broken out into several lines.
- To display details about how customers paid (such as the payment method and payment date), 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 invoices to which the adjustment was applied.
- If you do not want the report to display invoices that have already been paid, select the Hide paid documents checkbox.
- If you want the report to display only invoice line items that have been released for payment, check the Show only released line items checkbox.
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, vendors, items, and accounts are all examples of objects.
