The Financial Reports module is used to generate financial reports and comparisons. It works similarly to spreadsheet applications (e.g. Microsoft Excel). It is composed of cells where data is entered and arithmetic operations are run on them. Data is retrieved directly from the general ledger, according to the specified criteria (dates and formulas).

Just like a spreadsheet which can have multiple worksheets the PANTHEON has multiple financial reports and formulas.

Here, the parameters for financial reports are set, while they are calculated and generated in the Financial Reportsmodule.

For a detailed treatment on financial report parameters see:

• Financial Report Header,
• Report Captions,
• Lines of Financial Report, where financial report formulas are entered,
• Taskbar of Financial Report , where reports can be generated.

	Authorizations for generating financial reports and defining their formulas are assigned separately. This allows defining users that may change financial report parameters on one side and users that can only generate reports on the other.
	See Generate Financial Reports.

See Taskbar for a general description of its functions.
