 ==== Check Invoice Types in Report==== ==== Check Invoice Types in Report====
-Financial reports will include completed invoices types.  This would be "C"ash"L"ookup Cash and "A"/R Invoices as they post to the General Ledger.  Unless there is an option to include the would not typically include incomplete types such as "W"ork Orders or La"Y"aways or "E"stimates.  If you are comparing a report that includes incompleted types against one that excludes, this can explain the discrepancy. +Financial reports will include completed invoices types.  You configure these Main types in the "Invoice Setup" These invoice types post to the general ledger: 
-  * Best Practice:   Review what types of invoices are being included in the report.+  * "C"ash 
 +  * "L"ookup Cash  
 +  * "A"/R Invoices 
 +  * "B" - A/R with Back Orders  
 +  * "T"ransfer 
 +  * "S"ervice 
 +  * "F"inance 
 +  * "O"ut on RMA 
 +  * "U" In on RMA 
 +  * "P"aid Out 
 +  * "V"isa  (Legacy) 
 +  * "M"astercard (Legacy) 
 +  * "I"nterest (Legacy) 
 +Many sales report has an option to include incomplete types such as "W"ork OrdersLa"Y"aways or "E"stimates.  If you are comparing a report that includes incompleted types against financial reports that exclude, this can explain the discrepancy.  You can also forget to include completed invoice types which can explain a discrepancy. 
 +  * Best Practice:  Review what types of invoice types you are including in a report if you intend to compare against a financial report. 
 +  * Example:  Comparing the Financial Income and Expense report which only includes completed invoice types against the Main Category Sales Report that has options to include incompleted types.
  
 +==== Check Date Ranges ====
 +If you are running a financial report it will be run for an entire book month.  When running many non-financial reports these are run by date range instead of a book month.  Ensure you are not running for an incomplete date range and that all integrity has been checked before doing a comparison.
 +  * Best Practice:   Review dates and book months you are comparing against a report.  Use the date selection tool when selecting a date by double-clicking.  It will show you a calendar helping avoid missing the end of the month.
 +  * Example:  A leap year has a 29th day in February.  Comparing a financial book month for February against a report run on a leap year reporting on Feb 1 - Feb 28th will not include the 29th day.  Leap years only come around every 4 years so this can be easily missed.
  
 ==== Changing an Inventory Category ==== ==== Changing an Inventory Category ====
-With supervisor privileges, a user with rights can change the category that an inventory item resides in.   This will change where sales history will land in inventory reports but NOT change income and cost of goods ledgers where past invoices have been posted to.  Looking back on reports that look at these areas will have different results after such a change.  Many times this change is made as it is the right thing for the sales team to keep inventory sales history with an item but forget to tell the financial stakeholders which run reports against these areas.+With supervisor privileges, a user with rights can change the category that an inventory item resides in.   This will change where sales history will land in inventory reports but NOT change the income and cost of goods ledgers where past invoices have been posted to.  Looking back on reports that look at these areas will have different results after such a change.  Many times this change is made as it is the right thing for the sales team to keep inventory sales history with an item but forget to tell the financial stakeholders which run reports against these areas.
