General Ledger/Transaction Report???

[NR]

Hi Michael,
 
Thank you for your tutorial.
While the report that produces is somewhat helpful, it is not what I need.

The report I need to generate shows the activity in each of the accounts in the chart of accounts accounts over a specific period of time. 
For each account in your chart of accounts, the report is organized by account, and would show:
- would show the beginning balance for the account, 
- all the transactions that occurred in that account,
- Date of transaction
- Type of transaction
- Number (e.g., check #, etc)
- Name of payee, etc.
- Memo/Description of transaction
- Split information for each transaction
- categorize the transaction within the two columns (debit/credit)
- a running balance, after each transaction,
- a total for the transactions for that time period for each column,
- an ending balance for the account at end of the specified period,

All help in producing this report is MUCH appreciated - I suspect I am not the only person needing/wanting this reporting information.

Thank you!

Use Tools=>General Ledger to open the General Ledger register.

Right-click within this register and use the “Filter By” option to choose the 
date range in which you’re interested.

Use Reports=>Account Report to produce the report.

Use the Options button to make adjustments to the way this report is displayed.
