Types of Financial Reports

Snapshot reports and books display a view of data when the financial report or book was saved, so they show data at a point in time. With dynamic financial reports and books, you view the latest data and can change which data to view.

The icons on the Financial Reports page describe their type:

  • dynamic report icon: Dynamic report, one that you can preview on-the-fly as you create or change it.

  • snapshot report icon: Snapshot report, which you create in Financial Reporting from a dynamic report. See Creating Snapshot Reports and Books.

  • dynamic book icon: Dynamic book, a collection of reports that you create in Financial Reporting.

  • snapshot book icon: Snapshot book, which you create in Financial Reporting from a dynamic book. See Creating Snapshot Reports and Books.
