Comparative Income Statement
This screen allows you to compare income statements either for one period of time with another or compare actual income statements versus budgets and forecasts. You may manually enter the "From Date" and "Thru Date" for both time periods you are analyzing, or search for the dates using the calendar widget. You may also run the income statement for a pre-configured fiscal time period from using the drop down menu. The Fiscal Type drop down menu allows you to run the income statement for actual transactions ("Actual") or for previously entered budgets, forecasts, and other fiscal types.
To compare income statements of actual results over two time periods, enter two different date ranges and select "Actual" for both time periods. To compare actual income statements versus budget or forecast, enter the time periods and select "Actual" for one time period and "Budget" for the other. The second time period does not need to follow the first time period chronologically.
Clicking the [Run] button will run the two income statements and display them side by side.
Clicking the [Return to Reports] button will take you back to the Reports home screen.
