Slide 1

Slide notes: With Budget Writer, if we do not use any Breaks, then we simply get the Accounts listed in order of Account Code, and with a Grand Total at the end. When we use Breaks, and we may have up to 3 on a Report, then there is an automatic sorting by the Break type, and with sub totals at each Break. This is quite useful, as we will see now.

Slide 3

Slide notes: In this Report, we are sorting and breaking on the Profit and Loss group, which we call the ISPOS, short for Income Statement Position. So that means we have a sub total for all Personnel, all Communications, all Office and other groupings.

Slide notes: Towards the end, after all the Expenditure, we have Revenue. Therefore, the Grand Total is a Profit or Loss total for this Department, and the negative Total is in fact a Profit.

Slide notes: We can also have multiple Breaks, so now we will use the Cost Ledger as the 1st Break, followed by the P&L flag.

Slide notes:

Slide 31

Slide notes: The result for this is that we have all Accounts with the same Cost Centre together, with break totals, and secondly these are all sorted by P&L Flag as well, and with sub totals whenever the P&L Flag changes.

Slide notes: So the Breaks work with the GL Chart, and are extremely useful for producing the result that we want for a particular Report.
