select which transactions are selected for the report, what transaction fields

debit and credit information is included.

include in the report.

The report prints one 78-character detail line for each transaction based on
the fields you select for printing and the sequence number you assign to each
field.

Choose the New Report button to define transaction report header information.

Choose the Totals button to select additional sorting, totaling, and page

You can Run GL250 (Ledger Report Listing) to list report parameters you
select. Run GL290 (General Ledger Report) to create the report.
