Release 15/07/20 – Accounting – Financial Analysis Reports (beta)

We have created a new type of XLS report which incorporates both job and financial information. This report is available under management > reports > finance > accounting report scheduling, to users who have purchased the accounting module. If you would like access to this new report please raise a support ticket.

The financial analysis report provides a break down of the jobs and any charges related to these on a month by month basis. Users can choose to group the financial data by ETA/ETD of the job or by the date each transaction is raised (ie. accounting date). The biggest highlight of this new report is the group by criteria. We have provided users with the ability to dissect both their financial and job data by a number of different factors. These include:

  • Branch
  • Department
  • Direction
  • Job Class
  • Job Type
  • Port Pair
  • Responsible Person
  • Sales Person

Similar to other reporting screens, users have the ability to schedule these financial reports to run on certain days and to specific users.

Through the report selection criteria, users can filter their results by date ranges and groupings as well as specify what they wish to see on the report. The below table summarizes these capabilities.

Criteria Name  Description 
Customer Code Allows users to search by a specific customer. If a customer is entered, the results will be filtered to only show the selected customers data. If left blank, the report will show results for all customers in the system. Click on the zoom  button in the customer code field to search for customers.
