    Hi Sam_P 

     

    The General Ledger reports (Summary or Detail) can only be run for current and future financial years, previously closed financial years are not possible. You can see what financial year your company file is in via Setup>>Company Information.


    If you are needing to review that General Ledger report for a previously closed financial year you could look at restoring a backup prior to closing that financial year.

     

    Alternatively, depending on the information you want to see, you could look at running the Account Transactions [Accrual] report (Reports>>Accounts>>Account Transaction [Accrual])

Thank you Steven.

 

Will the transactions stay visible in this report forever?

 

Regards

Sam

    Hi Sam_P 

    The transactions would always stay visible in the backup files restored locally for those specific financial years.  As long as you have the backups for previous years, you can retrieve any information you want. 

     

    Please let me know if you have additional questions on this.

      Hi Koma,

       

      Thank you for your reply.  I am wondering how long they will stay visible in the 'Account Transaction (Accruals)' report.

       

      Thanks

      Sam

        Hi Sam_P 

         

        The Account Transaction (Accruals) report is based on a date range instead of financial years, so it would run for any dates for which you have transactions and that data would stay in the reports forever.
