You may choose any of several different sort orders and ranges of data including current and prior periods for all or any of the client's accounts. If you have set up the Chart of Accounts to accommodate multiple locations and departments, you may also choose which location(s) and department(s) to print. You may optionally include automatic or adjusting entries and choose what you want to include and how you want to format the report.
