There are
four main areas for reporting: Financial Reports, General Accounting Reports,
Payday Reports & Customizable Reports. Below are brief descriptions on the
different reporting features.
Financial Reports
Financial
Reporting is used to run basic, summary (i.e. fund, function, and object) and
detail finance reports (i.e. Expenditure, Revenue, Balance Sheet and many
more.). You can design reports for comparisons, detail analysis, use special
criteria and change report columns. These reports can also directly interface
with the “Messaging Center” for report distribution. This reporting area is VERY
flexible to meet your financial reporting needs.
General
Accounting Reports
In this area, you will find many standard SDS
reports. By using the Activate Sort Definition Area and View & Export,
you can query certain criteria to be pulled into the standard reports. Once you
create these custom reports, you have the ability to share or save them for
future use. You can also find a short cut to General Accounting Reports,
in many areas of the program, depending upon what section you are working
in.
Payday Reports
Payday Reports are located
under the Payroll Processing section of the menu tree. All reports associated
with each payroll can be seen from this area. Once a payroll is closed access to
the reports is still available by selecting the payroll date you wish to report
on.
Customizable Reports
Customizable Reports are located
under the Payroll Processing section of the menu tree. This screen allows you to
create date driven reports and gives you the option to pick up to 40 fields. The
option is similar to the Pick 8 Reports in Financial Reporting. You may now pick
from various groups, Gross, Tax, Deductions and Benefits. When creating a report
you simply select the data fields you would like to report, change column
headers, create a report name and save it. You also have the option to share the
report with other users.
