Account balance changes

Use the Account Balance Changes report to generate general ledger data for:

• End of month account balances for two periods chosen by the user.

• The change between the two periods.

- CHOOSING PERIODS TO COMPARE - Enter any date within EACH period to compare. The balances displayed will ALWAYS be for the END of periods chosen.
- No report will be produced if EITHER period has ALL zero balances. Use balance sheet or income statement to get statements with no changes.
- When ENTERING ACCOUNT NUMBERS, do NOT include dashes (-).
- Changes for revenue and expense accounts will be meaningful ONLY within a single fiscal year because their amounts are zero at the beginning of each fiscal year.

By default, generic filters are available to generate this report. You can use Advanced Filters to customize or expand your filter criteria. For more information about Advanced Filters, click here.
