Balance Sheet Detail Report

The Balance Sheet Detail report shows the starting balance at the beginning of a specified time period, transactions entered in the account for the time period you select, and the ending balance as of the report end date.

The standard Balance Sheet Detail report includes the following rows:

Header and summary rows are linked. Each summary row is calculated either through a sum of child row amounts or through a specified formula. Standard section data are selected based on accounts and are grouped by accounts.

The Balance Sheet Detail report may display a Split column. The Split column displays the other account involved in the double-entry bookkeeping notation. If more than one account was used to offset this distribution, you see the notation -Split- in the Split column.

The account you see in the Split column depends on how you view the reports:

Note:

The main line refers to the Primary Information field group in a transaction.

You can customize the Balance Sheet Detail report in the Financial Report Builder. You can add, reorder, and change the hierarchy of rows. You can group section data by class, department, location, and if you are using NetSuite OneWorld, subsidiary. You can set formatting options for each row. For more information, see Financial Report Builder. Be aware that the Allow Web Query option is not available for this report.

If employee information is masked and you require this information, contact your account administrator.

Note:

All balance sheet accounts checked with "Eliminate Intercompany Transaction" are used exclusively for intercompany posting. Consequently, you cannot post a non-intercompany balance to an Other Current Asset account IF the account is marked "Eliminate Intercompany Balance." In this case, you must have separate balance sheet accounts to post intercompany and non-intercompany transactions. The impacted balance sheet accounts include A/R, A/P, Other Current Asset (excluding inventory account), Other Current Liability, Long Term Liability, Other Asset, Deferred Expense, and Deferred Revenue. Further, the elimination Journal Entry is automatically reversed in the beginning of next period; therefore, the month-end auto-elimination will be calculated using the latest exchange rate, and on top of the total open balance of the account.
