Report:  Accounting Summary by Day

 

(Topic Last Updated On:  05/05/2010)

 

This report is similar to the Accounting Summary report and displays a breakdown of all accounting transaction totals entered over a selected date range, broken down by the 3 balance types tracked in the system.  This report further breaks down these totals by entry date ('Pay Date').  The net total dollar amount is displayed for each balance journal transaction type.  This report is generally run periodically by accounting or administrative staff to compare with payments received, lab bills, etc...to ensure accounting transactions are being recorded appropriately and that payments are being received.
