Re: Miscellaneous Enquiries on reports.

i wish to know on how to do the needed gymnastics so as to produce a balance sheet or any other report automatically with the use of FA.

Re: Miscellaneous Enquiries on reports.

We are working on a complete new report extension manager, but you will have to wait until release 2.2.2 at least for this.
In the mean-time you can copy the report rep706.php into the folder /company/X/reporting where X stands for the company number.
If there is a rep706.php (or any other report) here, FA will select this instead of the ordinary ones. Then you can experiment.
But again, wait with serious reporting until we are ready with this new extension.

Dear sir,
Could you tell me what is GP% in Price Listing report?

Re: Miscellaneous Enquiries on reports.

GP stands for Gross Profit. The difference between price and cost. and the percent is calculated as price - cost / price * 100.
Another word for this is Contribution Ratio,

Re: Miscellaneous Enquiries on reports.

Dear sir,

Thank you for you quick answer and I learned a lot from you. I learned not only about FA but the features of ERP system too. Sir, in profit and loss statement, could you clear me the following issues:

1) Calculated Return
2) (a) Accumulated (b) Period Y-1 (c) Budget and
3) How to calculated Achieved% by formula.

Thank you sir.

Re: Miscellaneous Enquiries on reports.

Sure.
1) Calculated Return is the same as Net Profit. It is called calculated because this is not a final statement.
2) a. Accumulated is from fiscal year begin upto and included the period. The period is only for the selected period.
    b. Period Y - 1 is the amounts from the same period year - 1 (last year).
    c. Budget is the budget entries from the selected period to compare with.
3) The Achiedved% is calculated first column 1 / column 2 * 100. If column 2 is 0 it is set to 999.0.
