GL-N  Print Custom Statements

Purpose of Program

This program allows you to print out the specialized financial statements you defined in AM-I, Format Custom Financial Statements.  You can choose from a menu of report formats.  If you are using multiple companies and you have used AM-G, Consolidate Financials, to create a consolidated chart of accounts, you are offered the option of printing a statement from those combined records.

General Program Operation

When you run this program, the screen display is similar to that of GL-F  Print Financial Statements.  Type in the name of the custom statement format you wish to use, or press F2 (or click on the Lookup button) to choose from a menu of format names.

Once you have chosen a report format, the operation of this program is similar to that of GL-F, Print Financial Statements.  Please refer to that section if you need more information.  One important difference is that, since these are user defined formats, the program does not know whether a given format is a Balance Sheet or Income Statement so it always asks for a range of months and whether or not to include a beginning balance.  The beginning balance  only includes prior years so for a Balance Sheet, make sure you answer Y to Beginning Balance and make sure that the range of months includes the entire year to date and not just the ending month.
