Account Analysis
| Report | Description |
|---|---|
|
This report provides details of supplier transactions posted, for either a single posting date or a range of dates. The posting date is the physical posting date of the transaction; the system date on which the transaction was entered, not the date entered for the transaction itself. Therefore you can report on all entries that were made on a particular day. If you enter supplier transactions from the Cash Book, for example, and they are held in the posting file for update to the ledger, the posting date is the date they were entered into the posting file and not the date they were posted to the supplier's account. You can use this report to identify a group of transactions entered by a particular user. |
