Getting at profit & Loss data before running a year-end

Hi

We have a 31 December year end. We haven't quite closed off last year, but we want to run some quarterly accounts. Is there any way of extracting data for Jan-Mar 2006 in a simple format (account number, name, debit balance, credit balance) without running a year-end on 2005 first?

If we've got to run a y/e before we can get anything meaningful analysis-wise out of this year, how should we post any audit adjustments that relate to 2005?

Thanks!

Why are you waiting to close off last year?

Why didn't you close it off months ago?

It is easy for your accountants to track any post year end adjustments they make. I would close the year in the second week of January, late invoices can either be put in this year or adjusted to last year.

Having said that. All is not lost.

there are reports you can run...

In

Financials>Reports>Profit & Loss Reports>

You will find a "Transactional Profit & Loss Report"

This will do what you want.

Similar reports exist in

Financials>Reports>Balance Sheet Reports

and

Financials>Reports>Trial Balance Reports

Hope this sorts you out for now, but think hard about closing your year end much earlier next year, I hate to thing of all those annoying popup you have had for the last three months. Must be driving you mad...
