Financial Reporting Structures

Purpose

The G/L Reporting Structures report shows the General Ledger codes (and their names) that are rolled up into each of the headings.
This can be useful if tracking down the rolled up values in a financial report.
A chart of accounts is a list of all the accounts in a company's general ledger (GL). The Chart of Accounts does not show any financial values.
