Creating Journal Entry Reports

You can create one or more journal entry reports in an engagement. You can choose to create separate reports or combined reports along with which journal entries to include in those reports. If journal entry values change, the values in the report are updated as well.

To create a journal entry report, do the following:

1. Click the engagement on the Engagement List page.

   Note: See Using the Engagement List Page for information about using the pagination and search features to find an engagement in the list.

2. Navigate to the Trial Balance page.

3. Click Create Report on the toolbar and select Journal Entry Report.

   Notes:

   • You cannot create a journal entry report in a “Locked” or “Finalized” engagement.

   • Journal entry reports can only be created on annual non-consolidated engagements and the subsidiary level of consolidated engagements.

4. Add the following properties for each report:

   • Index: Index helps you organize your reports alongside your workpapers. Index is an optional field and can be changed, as needed, on the Engagement View page. Index can be up to 32 alpha, numeric, and special characters.

   • Name: Name helps you identify the content of the report. This is a required field and can be changed, as needed, on the Engagement View page. Name can be up to 255 alpha, numeric, and special characters.

     Note: The combination of the report index, name, and journal entry type must be unique across all reports and workpapers.

5. Select which journal entries to include in the report.

   Note: Other journal entry types are not supported for journal entry reports currently.

6. Click Separate Reports or Combined Reports.

   • When either option is clicked, the selected journal entries will populate in the output section.

     • For Separate Reports, the output section will display the name of the report followed by the journal entry type.

       • Example: “JournalEntryReport_AJE”

     • For Combined Reports, the output section will display the name of the report followed by a combined label. You can have multiple combinations of a combined report.

       • Example: “JournalEntryReport_Combined(1)”

   • Click Save to create the journal entry report. The report may take a couple of minutes to generate. You will receive a message when the report is successfully created.

Each journal entry report index and name will appear on:

1. The hamburger menu under Journal Entry Reports, and

2. The Engagement View page under Unfiled Reports. You can drag and drop a report from Unfiled Reports to a folder.
