Before we begin using Report Writer, it is important that we have a basic understanding of the terminology used in the tool as well as how the reports are stored in the system. Report Writer has three types of reports:
Original reports: These are the default reports that are provided with the accounting system.
Modified reports: These are copies of an original report that have had changes made in Report Writer. Modified reports can be used instead of original reports in the accounting system.
Custom reports: These are reports that are created using Report Writer. These can be started with a blank report or by making a copy of an existing report. Stored procedures must be used to print custom reports in the accounting system.
