General journal report

The General journal allows you to view the posts made in different journal entries in a selected period.

PANTHEON allows different types of report, which enable you to customize the level of detail of the general journal report for one or more journal entries.

Below is an example of how to create a general journal report in PANTHEON.

1. Selecting the report type

To create a general journal report, the person responsible selects Financials | Reports | General journal.

A window General journal opens where the report criteria are specified.

2. Defining the criteria of the general journal report

In this case, the person responsible wants to create a report for all journal entries, which is why the person responsible does not select anything in the fields No. from/to.

The person responsible defines the period of the journal entry. In the fields Target date from/to, the starting date 1.1.2022 and the end date 6.5.2022 are entered.

3. Selecting document type

Next, the person responsible specifies the document type. As mentioned above, the person responsible wants to create a general journal report for the invoices received in the period from 1.1. to 6.5.2022.
