Displaying sub accounts in Financial Reports
This support note applies to:
AE Reporter (AU)
In MYOB Accountants Enterprise (AE) Reporter, apart from specific areas of the reports where disclosure requirements dictate to show sub accounts, the financial reports use a variable setting to determine the display of accounts. In some reports, the balance of each sub accounts is summarised under the control account, which contains the value of all sub account balances.
You can choose whether to display sub account balances by specifying the control account code, that you wish to display the sub code details. This setting can be applied in either Report Designer or when generating reports.
Changes made when generating reports are applied to the current session only. These settings are ledger-specific. Any setting specified in this area override the settings specified for each specific report.
