How to View, Filter, and Print Account Ledger Reports in eCount Accounting

This article explains how to view, filter, print, and manage the Account Ledger report in ecount Accounting.

📋 Overview

The Ledger report (Report → Account Books → Ledger or Ctrl + A) displays ledger data for all accounts. You can view a single account ledger, print statements in horizontal or vertical formats, and generate confirmation letters, daily or monthly summaries.

🔧 Steps / How-to

1. Open the Ledger report via Report → Account Books → Ledger (Ctrl + A).
2. Press Enter on an account to open its single ledger, or use the forward/backward buttons to navigate between accounts.
3. Press F6 to set a Date Range and F1 to apply additional search filters.
4. Press Ctrl + P to print; choose horizontal, vertical, T‑shape, or confirmation letter layouts.
5. To print multiple ledgers in one PDF, select the desired accounts and use the multiple‑ledger print option.
6. For quick account switching on the same page, press Ctrl + Shift + C, then select the new account.

⚙️ Settings / configuration

• Ledger Report Setup – defines which columns appear in the printout.
• Printing format – horizontal, vertical, T‑shape, or confirmation letter.
• Monthly summary – displays a graph of ledger data.

💡 Tips

💡 Tip: Use the Date Range filter first; the opening balance is calculated from the start date you select.

💡 Tip: If you need a custom print layout, request a new format from the system administrator.

⚠️ Common issues / warnings

⚠️ Note: Incorrect balances usually result from an inappropriate date range selection.

⚠️ Note: Merged branch data is visible only if you have the required user rights and the Merge option is enabled.

❓ Clarifications

• Single ledger vs. multiple ledger – single ledger shows one account; multiple ledger prints several accounts in one document.
• Zooming – the “Account Ledger Zoom” (Ctrl + Shift + C) lets you quickly switch accounts on the same page.

• Open Ledger report (Ctrl + A).
• Select account or use navigation keys.
• Apply Date Range (F6) and Search Filter (F1) as needed.
• Print with Ctrl + P, choosing desired layout.
