How do I print month-end reports?

Reports Checklist

Print these reports to review transactions at the end of the month.

Before you get started

Find out which financial statements your organization uses.
If you're using a custom financial statement, you'll need to set up the financial statement definition that you'll use to print financial statements (Organization > Forms).

Printing month-end financial statements

1. Open Connect General Ledger > Reports > Financial Statements.

2. Select the report title.

Use the Title menu to select the report for printing the month end financial statement.

3. Set up the Report Dates.

Use the section titled Report Dates to select the period assigned to the month you're reviewing.

4. Set up the checkbox titled Check the General Ledger Proof Before Printing.

Use this option to print the GL proof. The GL proof should be zero. Printing the GL proof before you print the financial statement gives you the opportunity to cancel the print job.

Do you want to print the GL proof?

Yes, print the GL proof. Click to select the checkbox titled Check the General Ledger Proof Before Printing.
No, do not print the GL proof. Do not select the checkbox titled Check the General Ledger Proof Before Printing.

5. Select the Financial Statement Definition.

This is the financial statement definition the report will use to print the requested information.

6. Click Print (CTRL+P).

The month-end financial statement prints.

Printing month-end journals

Print a hard copy of the transactions posted to each journal. You can use the printed journals to review and verify the posted transactions. Many organizations use the printed copy as the file copy just in case the transactions need to be restored to the General Ledger.

Do this...

1. Open Connect General Ledger > Reports > Journals.

2. Use the Title menu to select the report format.

3. Set up the Report Dates.

Use the section titled Report Dates to select the period assigned to the month you're reviewing.

4. Click Print (CTRL+P).

The month-end report prints for each journal.

Printing month-end detail ledger

The detail ledger prints the journal entries for each account for a specified GL period. Printing a detail ledger can help you ensure amounts are posted to the correct account; allows you to view transactions by account and verify accuracy; and provides you with a hard copy to save in your files.

Do this...

1. Open Connect General Ledger > Reports > Detail Ledger.

2. Use the Title menu to select the report format.

3. Set up the Report Dates.

Use the section titled Report Dates to select the period assigned to the month you're reviewing.

4. Click Print (CTRL+P).

The month-end detail ledger prints.

Reviewing month-end reports for errors

Use the financial report, journals, and detail ledger to view and verify transactions.

Did you find any errors?

Yes, I found errors in the financial report, journals, or detail ledger. You'll need to correct the errors, reprint the reports, and verify the error is corrected.
No, the reports are accurate. You're done.
