Sometimes the world of accounting can feel just as mysterious and unsettling as a haunted house. Fear not! In this blog post, we will introduce you to the essential accounting reports and views that serve as your trusty flashlight against the dark forces of financial chaos.

Account Summary by Account Type Report

This report reveals a collection of general ledger accounts and their balances, all grouped by account type. This is a great report to use for your end of day reporting that allows you to see a GL Account Breakdown. The parameters for this ghostly gathering of data include:
  
  • Date and time range
  • Computer(s)
  • In-Person, Online, or both
 
This report can be found by navigating to the Reports module, which can be found on the Fusion dashboard or within the Fusion button drop-down. From there, you'll find this report in the Accounting tab.

Invoice Summary View

Every spine-chilling invoice lurking in Fusion will materialize in this list, summoned by the Invoice Date Range selected in the top right corner. Use this tab to catch a glimpse of your invoice entries at a glance, and conjure up exports to other applications like Excel. But beware; Manual Journal Entries and A/R Adjustments that are not linked to any invoice will not appear here. 
 
In the Invoice Summary view, each invoice is one individual line item with that Invoice's details displayed throughout that line. All of your custom GL Accounts will appear as columns in the far right so you can see the impact on each GL Account's balance.

This view can be found within Chart of Accounts in the Invoice Summary tab.
