Field Description
Options  
Print totals only Select this if you want to print only the totals generated by each report you selected to print.
Print zero value lines

This option is disabled if you selected the option: Print totals only.

Select this if you want to print lines containing zero values on the report.

Reporting currency

This field is only displayed if you have created alternative currency ledgers (GL Alternative Currency Setup).

The field defaults to the local currency defined against the company (Company Setup) but you can select to print the financial reports in any of the alternate currencies defined.

Companies selected The company or companies for which you want to run the report(s) are displayed.
Select Companies

This function enables you to specify a list of companies for which you want to produce the selected financial reports.

This enables you to consolidate the ledgers of up to 36 companies.

[Note]

If you want to consolidate multiple companies' results in one set of financial reports, then you must ensure that each of the separate company's accounts is stored in the same physical repository.

You do this by logging into the company from which the consolidated reports are to be run (i.e. the holding or sharing company), and selecting the Merge Live Ledger to Current File option from the GL Copy, Merge and Delete program, for each of the companies you want to include in the consolidation.

When the Merge process is completed you must ensure that the same company id code is displayed for all companies at the Shared companies - Ledger file company field (Company Setup).

Once you have grouped the companies in the same physical file, then the Report Options you defined using the GL Define Financial Reports program dictate which companies are available for selection.

You must set the following options to be the same for all of the entered companies:

  • number of accounting periods in a year (Company Setup)
  • ledger file company id (Company Setup)
Comp This indicates the company code available for selection.
Name This indicates the company name for the company code.
Select All Select this to include all companies listed in the report.
Unselect All Select this to exclude all companies listed from the report.
OK Select this to save the company selections.
Cancel Select this to return to the previous screen.
Start Processing

This function enables you to start printing the financial reports in the order in which they were entered on the previous screen.

[Note]

If you selected to execute a XML report from the GL Define Financial Reports program, you are given the option of viewing the report in SYSPRO's XML Report Viewer (see GL XML Report Viewer).

However, this option is not available if you selected to generate the report from the GL Financial Reporting program. The reason is that the GL Financial Reporting program is designed to execute multiple reports consecutively. Therefore, a report can depend on the previous report for input values, prompts, etc.

Cancel Select this to return to the previous screen.
