Use the Report Format F/M program to view all financial report formats and their parameters.
These report formats are used when printing financial reports (P&L - Statement of Revenues & Expenditures, Balance Sheet - Statement of Financial Position). These formats represent only the headings and parameters for the financial reports. This includes the number of columns, size of numbers, number of periods, and so on.
Set up your custom financial reports through Report Setup F/M using your company’s chart of accounts.
These report format numbers correspond with the various report examples in the sample reports. For example, format 20 is the format number for GLR820 - 8-column P&L report. After you set up a custom financial report using your company’s GL account numbers, you can print it using any of the report formats found in this program.
Information displayed includes report format number, description of the report and its format, paper size needed, whether % of base is needed, number of periods used, and whether commas and/or decimals may be used, as well as a negative sign or parentheses in the print mask for this standard report.
This program serves as an inquiry only; files are never affected.
