Financial Reporting Dashboard Interface
- The dashboard shows transactions or accounts that need further processing.
- The left side shows a list of transactions that are either out of balance or have allocation errors.
- The right side shows the accrual accounts that need to be reconciled. The accrual accounts shown are those with the default Accrual in the Chart of Accounts.
- The dashboard has no date filter. When you open the Statement of Profit/Loss or the Statement of Financial Position from Menu (button) > Views, the Set date filter is Fin Year (Months) by default. The Trial Balance always uses Fin Year.
Example
In the transaction causing the problem, the account to be credited is blank, so BOS does not know where to post the VAT-exclusive amount. It does, however, know where to post the VAT and Item 1’s transaction.
