Financial Formulas
The financial formula table serves two main purposes. It allows you to specify the account code ranges used by the financial report printing system, and it will allow you to keep tabs on the totals of groups of accounts without having to print reports to get at these figures. For example, you may wish to set up a series of table entries that will calculate your net profit for the period.
Another common use is to introduce sub-totals into your reports.
See: Financial Formula Table for a detailed explanation of this utility and a tutorial for setting up the financial formula table.
