The Chart of Accounts screen has two tabs. Accounts lists your general ledger from the GL Account perspective — one row per GL Account, with the current balance rolled up across every dimension variant (cost center, region, or any other segment you use). Reports turns the same activity into a Trial Balance, Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss, or Cash Flow statement that you can filter, regroup, and share.

What the Accounts tab shows

Each row represents one GL Account. adorabl consolidates every full account code that shares the same GL Account into a single row and sums the balances. Balances within a small rounding tolerance display as 0, so accounts that net to zero across dimensions do not show a stray fraction. The summary strip totals each account type. Equity includes a Net Income line for the current year so Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity; if they do not, the strip reads out of balance by the difference.

Reports

Open Reports on the Chart of Accounts screen. The statement is built from journal lines on the server — nothing is summed in the browser — and grouped by your account structure and active dimensions.

Choose the statement

The report re-runs a moment after each change.
2

Choose ledgers and zeros

Open Ledgers & display. Check the ledger codes to include (for example, actual and budget). Set Ledger basis to Posted only or Posted + Unposted to preview drafts. Switch Show zero balances on to include accounts with no activity in the range.

Filter and group

Refine data limits the report to segment and dimension values, side by side. Include inactive segment values keeps retired codes in the filter lists. Columns & grouping checks the segments and dimensions that become groups on the statement.

Read the summary

Each statement has its own strip: debits, credits, and the difference on the Trial Balance; assets, liabilities, and equity on the Balance Sheet; revenue, cost of goods, gross profit, expenses, and net income on the Profit & Loss. A Ledger is out of balance alert appears when debits and credits do not agree. An Out of balance alert appears when assets do not equal liabilities plus equity.
The Balance Sheet adds a calculated Current Year Earnings line (and Retained Earnings for prior years) so equity ties without a manual closing entry. Profit & Loss cutoffs follow your fiscal calendar.

Cash Flow statement

Cash Flow is an indirect statement: net income, non-cash adjustments, changes in working capital, then investing and financing, tied from beginning cash to ending cash. Sections are Operating Activities, Investing Activities, Financing Activities, and Supplemental Disclosures. This is not the Cash Flow calendar. The calendar plans bills and invoices by day. This statement explains the change in cash on the ledger. Click Cash Flow Mappings to classify each balance sheet account. adorabl suggests a category — Operating Activities, Investing Activities, Financing Activities, Cash & Cash Equivalents, Non-Cash Adjustment (P&L), or Excluded — and you can override it. Apply the mappings to save them and refresh the statement. Restore defaults puts the suggestions back in the editor until you apply them. The statement must tie. If computed ending cash does not equal the cash balance on the general ledger, an alert names the difference. adorabl does not force the statement to balance. Unmapped balance sheet accounts with activity are listed in the same alert; classify them in Cash Flow Mappings. A retained-earnings note appears when the change in retained earnings does not equal net income minus distributions.
The report criteria are encoded in the page URL. Copy the address to bookmark a month-end Balance Sheet or send a filtered Profit & Loss to a colleague — they open the same report.

Account type ranges

adorabl infers Type from the GL Account number: Use these ranges when you add new GL Accounts on Segments so the type classification stays consistent.

Open a consolidated GL Account

Click a row to open the Consolidated GL Account page. It shows:
  • The GL Account code and name in the header.
  • Full accounts — how many dimension variants exist for this GL Account.
  • Consolidated balance — the sum of every variant’s balance.
  • A table of every full account code (GL Account plus dimension segments) with its individual balance.
Use this view when you need to see how a single GL Account splits across cost centers, regions, or other dimensions without leaving the account context.

Review account transactions

The consolidated GL Account page has a Transactions tab that lists the posted journal entry lines hitting the account, with a running balance. Lines display newest-first, and clicking a row opens the source journal entry. The tab is read-only — it reflects posted activity and never edits it.

Segments

Define GL Accounts, segments, and account groups.

Period close

Close the month after you review these statements.

Dimensions

Configure the cost center, region, and custom dimensions that make up full account codes.
