Hi All:

A sample of financial report has been created as below, but I don't want the AP amount to display minus. Do you know how to set up?

    Hello Jacky Qian,

    By default, the AP amounts show up as a liability with a negative sign because they are usually posted on the credit side.

    You can flip the sign as you showed in your screenprint.

    Yet, when you do that you have to be very careful with calculations and numbers that you add up.

    As an example, if you want to calculate the difference between Cash and AP then you can simply use a total (TOT) function that summarizes those lines.

    If you flipped the AP sign then you need a calculation (CAL) function if you want to calculate the difference between Cash and AP.

    All is possible.

    Personally, I prefer not to flip signs because you have to think a lot how to define your calculations when you are doing that.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    It seemed that I likely found the answer. Set up normal balance is 'C' in row definition block. 

    Do you think so as well ?
