Creating Reports
Ledger Statement
Overview
A Ledger Statement provides a detailed view of all Lines recorded in a specific Ledger over a given period. It allows Business Owners to analyze Transactions within a Linked Account, helping them track spending patterns and identify unusual activity.
For example, if Operating Expenses are unexpectedly high, a Business Owner can review the Ledger Statement to pinpoint changes in spending and make informed decisions.
How to Generate a Ledger Statement
- Call the Retrieve the Ledger Statement endpoint with:
- Business ID
- Start Date
- End Date
- Use the returned data to structure the report as a list of transactions made in that ledger over the selected period.
P&L Best Practices
- Filter by date range – Use a date picker with standard periods like months, quarters, and years to give users control.
- Enable drill-down into Transactions – Users may want to inspect specific Transactions. Use the Journal Entry endpoints to provide detailed transaction data.
