GL-R Business Status

Purpose of Program

Use this program to view summary status information reflecting the overall financial position of the company.

General Program Operation

The very first time this program loads, it will take a few minutes because it has to calculate the balances of all the categories.  Once these beginning balances are first generated, they are continually updated whenever GL Transactions are posted in GL-O  Print/Post General Ledger Batches or by clicking the Refresh button on this screen.  There is also a default setting on the Accounting screen in SD-Q IS Tech Support Defaults to automatically refresh every time the program is loaded.

The screen shows the current balance of open Accounts Receivable, Customer Deposits, Accounts Payable, Cash, Open Sales and Purchase Orders, WIP and Inventory.   The other fields such as Billings and Booked Orders are for the period defined in the lower left Period Start and End dates.

The WO Info and Cash Info buttons display more detail regarding the components of the balances and SD-Q IS Tech Support Defaults has a setting to indicate which Checking Accounts (as defined in AD-B  Checking Accounts Defaults ) should be included in the Cash Balance on the main screen.

Once a new period begins, the balances will pass forward and the Period to date fields will clear for the new period.  The Next and Previous buttons enable looking at prior periods.
