Hi Kola,

You have two options within financial statements either: -

1. Use calculations or;

2. Use a range

So, to calculate the net profit you can either use (1) above and use a calculation to take the total sales, less direct costs, less over heads, or use (2) a range that includes all of the profit and loss accounts.

For the balance sheet, I would suggest you use a range of all the profit and loss accounts.

It is always a good idea to check any calculations against a range to ensure that the calculations are valid and you haven’t missed out any accounts.

Cheers.

Hi John, on a related note, how could we show net sales in P&L supposing that I have 

Net Sales = Sales - Discounts 

Sales include a range of accounts say 3000 to 3100

Discounts include say 3200..3280

I am able to show the totals for sales and disounts, However, how to show the net? Appreciate your thoughts. Could we use a calculations if so, how? thanks
