AR Reclassification report

The Accounts Receivable (AR) Reclassification report displays a list of documents with data that was reclassified from one account to another in the past month and the names of those who reclassified them.

Suppose your company has several users who have permission to change accounting data for invoices and/or adjustments that have already been partially or fully paid. Use this report to see a list of those transactions and who reclassified them.

Who typically needs this report?

Accountants and controllers, those responsible for managing the company’s financials. You can use this report as an audit trail.

For information on terms that may differ in your location, see Terminology across locales.

    A report showing results for the default reporting period appears in your browser.

Customize and run

Before running the report you can select the time period and types of items to include, and specify how you want the report to appear.

  1. Select the reporting period from the dropdown menu, or enter the start and end dates you want the report to cover. If you do not specify a reporting period, the system generates a report for the current month to date.

    You can specify either the reporting period or the start and end dates, but not both.

  2. Set the filters to get the specific data you want.

    Filters enable you to include or exclude specific types of data in the report, such as vendor and location. As a general rule, to get fewer and more precise results in your report, set more filters.

  3. Format the report.

    Format options vary from report to report. Generally, you can set the layout of the report and/or arrange how to group and display the data contained in the report.

  4. Type a title, subtitle, and footer text for your report.
  5. To view, process, memorize, export, or customize the report or add it to the dashboard, select one of the following options:

    • View: View the report now, in your browser.
    • Print: Display the report now, in printable PDF format.
    • Process & store: Generate the report and store it for later access. Reports can be either stored in the My Stored Reports list or delivered to a cloud storage location, such as Dropbox. Learn more about processing and storing reports.
    • Add to dashboard: Add the report to your dashboard.
    • Memorize: Memorize (that is, save) the report so that later you can refer back to it or modify and re-run it.

      You can schedule memorized reports to run on a recurring basis. Intacct can automatically email the reports or deliver them to a cloud storage location.

    • Export: Export the report to a separate file that you can then distribute or save to your local drive. File formats to which you can export the report data vary among reports.
    • Customize: After you run the report, return to the main report page and refine the report further.
    • Email: After you run the report, email to others.

    Some options are only available if you access the report from the Reports center.

Time period

You can use one of the pre-defined reporting periods available from the Reporting Period and As of Date boxes, or create your own reporting period using the Start Date and End Date boxes.

Report filters

Use the filters to focus the results of your report. In effect, filters enable you to isolate and assemble just the data you want. You can set any combination of filters. To customize your report results, change the filters as follows:

  3. In a multi-entity environment, you can filter by location, department, or both.

  4. To show only transactions reclassified by a specific person, select that person's user ID from the User ID dropdown menu.

    The abbreviation "desc" after an option means "Descending order", such as reverse alphabetical or reverse numerical order.
