Report content

The report is structured into three main sections:

• Current account card
  Displays current account card transactions with the columns Date, Document, Description, Debit, Credit, Balance.
• Budget account card
  Displays budget account card transactions with the columns Date, Document, Description, Debit, Credit, Balance.
• Difference (between budget balances and current balances).
  For each row, the difference is calculated as: Budget balance – Current balance.
  This column highlights deviations between planned and actual values.

Each row or the report includes:

• current transaction (if available)
• budget transaction (if available)
• updated balance
• difference between balances

When one side has no data, the last available balance is carried forward. This ensures continuous and consistent comparison.
