Reports

Reports show the data of your submitted documents in tables. A report does not change your data.

Available Reports

Click Reports in the sidebar, and then click a report. The GST reports are in the GST group. On a phone, tap Reports in the bottom tabs.

Report Shows
General Ledger Each accounting entry, with a running balance.
Profit And Loss The income, the expenses, and the profit for each period.
Balance Sheet Your assets, liabilities, and equity at the end of each period.
Trial Balance The opening and closing balances, and the debits and credits, of each account.
Stock Ledger Each stock entry of your items.
Stock Balance The quantity and the value of each item in each location.
GSTR1 and GSTR2 Your sales and your purchases for the GST returns.

The stock reports show only when Enable Inventory is on in the General settings. The GST group shows only when your company has a GSTIN. All roles can open and export every report.
