This function operates in the same way (with minor differences that are explained later) as the 'View financial report' option, which is described in detail in the previous topic.
To Print a financial report:
From the Master menu select the Management Accounts option and the company you require
The MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTS menu is displayed.
Select the Reports & enquiries option
The MA REPORTS AND ENQUIRE menu is displayed.
Select the Print financial report option
The Print Management Accounts Report form is displayed.
The Print Management Account Report form is displayed when the Print financial report option is selected from the REPORTS AND ENQUIRIES menu.
Obviously, this option is used to produce reports via a printer, and the nature of the printer(s) used should be taken into account in the formatting of the reports.
The request parameters are input on the same three areas as per the View Management Accounts Report form option. That is, a first area for the budget types and the period range to be reported on, the second area for the 'level', and the third for format of the report.
BUTTONS
Next Report/Prev report: Only enables the user to request one report at a time, but allows them to move back and forth. If Next Report is selected, the Print button is made inactive, and the option to go back to the Previous report is enabled, and displays the selection criteria for the previous report. It is possible to Print the report at this point. Hence it is not possible to select multiple reports [i.e select and print one, then go onto the next one and so on] despite the existence of the Next and Previous buttons- this is something for the user to beware of.
