kirsten Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hi, I am having my annual accounts prepared and my accountant has asked me to run off a Trial Balance report and a general/nominal ledger report for the year. Is there a report that shows all activity in all general ledger accounts for the year or do I have to run off each general ledger separately? Thanks in advance Kirsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris75 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Kristen, on Express Accounts you can go to Report/ Other Reports and then select the Trial Balance that shows all the Accounts on the selected Time period. This trial Balance report will show all your Debits and Credits for all the accounts. Try that out and let us know if that is what you are looking for.

kirsten Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hi. Thanks for your reply. Yes i've given them the Trial Balance, but what they are looking for also is a listing of activity in each ledger account, they say to ensure that everything has been posted to the right place. I can see how to run a report for individual ledger accounts, but if possible I want to do a report that shows all activity in all accounts for a specified period?

Chris75 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hi Kristen, at this moment the program does not offer a report that would show all the details for each ledger in the same report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksparrow Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Has this changed? Does Express Accounts support a General Ledger now? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCGCS Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 There is the Journal report which is under View -> Journal which will give all transactions or press Ctrl + V and it will open the Journal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkmark Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I have just sent in the suggestion to technical support. A general ledger report is basic functionality for any accounting program to my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwales Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Has there been any progress with this report? I also am looking for a detailed general ledger report showing all transactions. Seems a fairly basic requirement to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim 1318 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Unfortunately there's no report like that available, you can submit a ticket here: https://www.nch.com.au/support/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozcpa Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 This topic was raised nearly five years ago and each time the response by NCH has been to advise the customer/potential customer to raise a support ticket. To be able to produce a General Ledger Report that contains the transactions for ALL accounts is basic functionality available in nearly every other competitor's accounting software. As NCH Express Accounts has always had a General Ledger Report available for a SINGLE account, how difficult can it be to produce this same report for ALL accounts? All that would be required is to select the "from" account and the "to" account and then just iterate through the "single account report" process. The fact that NCH development/support has ignored this matter for over three years doesn't speak too highly of a customer focused approach. I am a Consultant CPA and would have recommended NCH Express Accounts to literally hundreds of clients EXCEPT for the fact that this basic functionality still does not exist.

Jean-A. Cummings Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 OZCPA, you're right. My opinion and conclusion are same to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Chartered Accountant Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 This is ridiculous not to develop this basic functionality after all these years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozcpa Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 This software COULD be great and be a "must have" recommendation to my clients EXCEPT for two things: (1) It doesn't have basic General Ledger reporting (which should take the developer minimal time to implement considering that the required report can be produced for a SINGLE G/L account; therefore programming that functionality with a "loop" to iterate through a range of accounts should be a trivial exercise) and (2) Despite this matter being first raised by numerous people over half a decade ago, the developer hasn't even acknowledged these posts. This means that she/he either never reads these Forum posts, or worse still, treats his/her customers with absolute contempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
