 background don't like maybe or aren't used to the trial balance let's say it that way because it has debits and credits but even if you don't like the debits and credits or are not used to them you'll notice how much easier it is to look at a trial balance that doesn't have the subtotals and it has the balance sheet on top of the income statement in one report so this is basically like a summary of the balance sheet and income statement in one report so instead of having two reports open as you do the data input you could if you're used to it and you feel comfortable just have the trial balance open and that could save you some tabs up top so I think that's a really useful report I'm gonna duplicate it again the other common report is a subsidiary report to the accounts receivable giving us a breakout by customer so if I go up to the accounting tab and go to my reports I'm gonna scroll down this time to the receipt to the this is gonna be the here we are those where I want payables and receivables so we've got the aged receivable details and the aged receivable summary let's just go into the summary report you have other receivable reports but the general idea here is that as of any given time we should have be able to track our receivables by customer so now I'm breaking out my receivable by who owes us the money Anderson Jones Smith that ties out to what's over here the twenty thousand five hundred now in practice we will often be working with collections on those receivables internally going to the tab to the left by going to like contacts and looking at our customers for example contacts we could go to to the customers and we get another little summary of the people that owe us money
