What to do
- Sales reports count issued invoices less credit notes, before VAT, on the document date; the income statement counts what is posted to the ledger, including journals.
- Draft and cancelled documents are never in reports.
- Stock reports value stock at cost on the date chosen; check stock adjustments in Stock movement if the value moved unexpectedly.
- For the official figures use Accounting → Financial statements; Checking the books agree helps find differences.
