Beginning balance of year in management reporter

(0) ShareShare

Hi all

How to define the beginning balance in row modifier in management reporter? It seems the  Account modifier 'BB' is the beginning balance of the period which is selected?

Thanks!

    Hi Jane.Gu,

    Have you tried selecting YTD/BB in the column definition of your report?

    This should give you the beginning balance as of 1st January.

    You can setup a specific column for that or 'hide' it by selecting the non-printing option.

    If you do that, you then need a second column for the January values that is also not printed and a third one where you add up the first and second column.

    I personally prefer to work with the column definitions and would not try setting this up in the row definitions.

    Yet, this is something you can test and compare.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig

    Actually just a row needs the beginning balance of this year, so how to define it?

    Thanks!

    You can make use of the row modifier to achieve this

    Hi Ludwig,

    The result after I tested that the selection 'BB' means the beginning balance of the period which I selected, but not meaning the beginning balance of this year.

    Thanks!

    Hi Jane.Gu,

    This should be able to be fixed by setting up an additional column that has the YTD and not the PERIOD setup.

    If you add such a column it will show the beginning balance of the year.

    Can you test that?

    Best regards,

    Dear Ludwig

    Thank you for your suggestion, it's so terrific.

    And can you support me another question if you have the time?  For example, the row 1 need to be displayed each period amounts ,but the row 2 should display each period closing balance, and the result should be put in the same period column. So how to define it?

    Thank you!

    Hello Jane.Gu,

    For your last question, would it be correct to have something like this

    row 110: Period January amount

    row 120: Period February amount

    row 130: Period March amount

    ...

    row 220: Period December amount

    row 230: Closing period current period

    Or do you want

    row 110: YTD Balance

    row 120: closing amount of the current period

    In the last case, wouldn't row 110 and 120 show the same amount?

    Can yo explain a bit more on your last question and possibly provide a simplified example of the structure similar in a way I did that?

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig

    Dear Ludwig,

    The report likes below:

    ROW Column 1            Column 2                     Column 3

    110        Period Jan amount   Period Feb amount     Period Mar amount

    111        Period Jan amount   Period Feb amount     Period Mar amount

    112        Ending Jan balance   Ending Feb balance     Ending Mar balance

    113        Ending Jan balance   Ending Feb balance     Ending Mar balance

    Thanks!

    Hi Jane.Gu,

    What is the exact difference between row 110 and 111?

    And row 112 and row 113?

    For me, they look the same.

    Can you explain a bit?

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    YES, row 110 is the same with 111, and row 112 and row 113 is same.

    Thanks
