Table of Reports
Browsing the Reports
menu can be rather time-consuming, so I have done it for you. Below is a table of the reports XE "reports:table of" XE "table of reports" found in QuickBooks Pro 5.0, with all the options active: inventory, sales tax, purchase orders, full payroll, estimates, 1099 tracking, time tracking and job tracking. The earlier versions have most of these reports.
icon note
The reports menu will
list reports for active functions.
Absence of any reports from the menu
indicates that the related function is turned
off (or if it is not included in your
version.)
Many of the special
reports are in fact customized with filters,
etc. In order to see what should be in
a report, what transactions are included and
which are excluded, the only way is to open
up the customization and see what is set up
in the report.
icon note
Default date options are shown for a few reports. Note that
Month-to-Date vs Previous or
Year-to-Date vs Previous
compare to a time span from the beginning of the previous period to a “like” date in that period, the analog of the current date.
Selected detail reports
accessible by zooming from summary reports
are listed. In some cases these are
only slightly different from other detail
reports triggered directly from the
menus. Many other detail reports can be
displayed by zooming.
Asterisks ( * ) in the
table denote explanations below the table,
indicating information that I found in the
reports, and expect that you will find
useful. [Brackets] signify a few
reports that are available only by zooming
from numbers in another report. In many
cases, these are only slightly different from
a directly selected detail report.
In order to keep the
table from being even larger, the comments
are limited to providing guidance on
which reports you may want to explore.
The broad capability and flexibility of the
system imply that there is no substitute for
understanding it.
