Year-to-Date Balances
The “Year-to-Date Balances” app is an internal
accounting report showing the debit and credit
balances of all general ledger accounts at a point
in time. It is typically used to check that total
debits and total credits match each other. With
this app you can display balances for certain
dimensions of the universal journal entry for a
specific fiscal year. You can choose any
beginning date and end date within a fiscal year
to calculate balances.

The Sales Volume page enables you to see at a
glance how your sales volume has developed over
time, and where you can increase it, for example,
with open sales orders, open deliveries, and open
billing requests. It also gives you insights into
credit memos resulting from returns and
complaints, and cancellations, that is, invoices that
have been canceled due to internal errors in your
company.
The Profit Margin page enables you to analyze
your sales volume and profit margin over time and
by sales organization. For example, you can see
whether your profit margin is low for a particular
sales organization. It also shows you your sales
volume, profit margin, and net sales cost for the
top 5 customers.
The Incoming Orders page enables you to
analyze and compare incoming sales and service
orders by dimensions such as sales organization,
sales office, or sold-to party. The charts help you to
identify top customers and trends.
