EXERCISE 5.1
Printing the transactions listing
1. Close any windows that you may have open and return to the company desktop.
Click G/L Reports on the left navigation pane, then double-click the Transactions
Listing icon on the right.
2. Choose your preferred print destination by clicking File Print Destination. As the
report is very long, you may want to preview it onscreen.
3. Ensure the From Period fields show 2010 1 and the To Period shows 12. Accept all
other defaults. Click Print.
4. Your report should have 131 accounts (238 including those with no activity). Close
all windows to return to the company desktop.
Destination options
Accpac enables you to send any report or financial statement to four different destinations:
 Printer. This is the default destination.
 Preview. You can display the report on the screen, which enables you to browse through
the report before printing it.
 File. The report can be exported in various file formats. Exercise 5.2 and Exercise 5.3 let
you practise using these formats.
 E-mail. The report is generated and sent as an attachment.
In previous exercises, you have learned how to print a report; you can also save a report as a
file. You will use this feature frequently in your CGA studies. When you complete an
assignment, for example, you will be asked to create a Word document that you can e-mail to
your marker. If part of your assignment asks for a printout from Accpac, you will need to
save that report as a file. Exercise 5.2 explains how to save a report as a file.
EXERCISE 5.2
Saving a report as a file
1. Click File Print Destination. The Print Destination window opens (Exhibit 5-1).
Select File and click OK.
