Corresponding Accounts

This page describes the Corresponding Accounts report in the Nominal Ledger.

---

The Corresponding Accounts report is a list of Account postings made during the selected period showing how each one has been balanced. For example, where an Account has been used on the credit side of a Transaction, the report will show the Account(s) used on the debit side, with amounts posted. The balancing Accounts are termed 'Corresponding Accounts'.

In a complex Transaction, where, for example, the first two lines are debit Accounts and there are then several credit lines, you should establish correspondence manually while entering the Transaction using the Corr field on flip F of each Transaction row.

Period
Paste Special    Reporting Periods setting, System module
Specify the period to be covered by the report. The report will list postings in Transactions entered during this period.

Main Account
Paste Special    Account register, Nominal Ledger/System module
Specify here the Account whose correspondence you wish to analyse.

Corr. Account
Paste Special    Account register, Nominal Ledger/System module
Use this field if you are only interested in viewing a specific corresponding Account.

Balances Only
With this option selected, for each Main Account, each Corresponding Account will be listed on a single row, with debit and/or credit totals for the report period (i.e. the total amount posted to the Main Account balanced by postings to the Corresponding Account).

In the example illustrated below, Account 750 has an opening balance of -47,923.60. During the report period, a total of 3,500.00 was debited to this Account with Account 199 as the Corresponding (balancing) Account. 1,980.00 was credited to Account 750 with Account 700 as Corresponding Account.

If you do not select the Balances Only option, every posting will be listed individually.

List Transaction No.
If you select this option, the Transaction Numbers of all Transactions that fall within the reporting period, together with debit and credit totals, will be listed at the end of the report.
