The Income Statement/Balance Sheet (both Detail and Compact), Journal Entries, Disclosures Table, Operating Leases Verification, Depreciation Over Economic Life, and Expiration reports all require entry of report period dates.
The Amortization, Future Minimum Rents, Classification, Current Rent, and Listing reports ask for a single date, “Active as of date.”
| Field | Description |
|
Starting Date |
Enter the beginning day of the first period of the report. |
|
Ending Dates |
Fixed: Select Fixed if you want one or more whole calendar periods: months, quarters (3 months), years, 28-day (4-week) periods, or 35-day (5-week) periods. Select Fiscal to use fiscal periods (calendar months or 4- or 5-week periods based on your company’s calendar, as entered in System Options). Select Variable if you want to enter each report end date. If you choose Fixed, select which type of period (months, quarters, years, or 28- or 35-day periods) and how many of those periods you want. The end date of the last report period is automatically calculated and displayed. The default is 1 month. You may enter up to 999 periods. Fiscal: If you choose Fiscal, the fiscal date pattern you specified in System Options is used. Specify the starting fiscal period, then whether the report period(s) should be a single fiscal period each, a fiscal quarter, or a fiscal year. The start and end dates for the entire report are shown immediately below. The default is the current fiscal period. Variable: If you choose Variable, you may enter any number of end dates. If you wish to enter more than one date, press Enter once you have completed a date entry, and another date appears. Dates are immediately sorted if you enter a new date that is earlier than the previous date. To delete a date, click on it to highlight it, then press Delete. |

Active As Of Date |
This is provided only for the Amortization, Future Minimum Rents, Classification, Current Rent, and Listing reports. Only leases that are active on the date specified (that is, the lease’s begin date is before this date, and its end date, and early termination date if any, is after this date) are included in the report. If you wish to include all leases, no matter when they are active, select the “List all leases” check box. |

List leases Active Any Time |
This is provided only for the Amortization, Classification, and Listing reports. If this box is checked, then all leases in the file are listed, no matter when they start and end. If this is checked, the “Active as of date” box is grayed out, because the date in it is not used. |
