Reports

The agent keeps the books as you go, and you approved every voucher along the way. The reports are where you see what it added up to. You don't need them to run the business — the numbers come to you in the chat — but when you want to check the cards yourself, or your accountant does, it's all here.

Tredco says as much above the reports: "These reports are built for accountants — but feel free to poke around." You don't have to know the chart of accounts to get something out of them, and nothing here changes anything — the reports only show.

The report tabs are labelled in Norwegian, since that's the language of Norwegian accounting; the glosses below tell you what each one is.

How to open them

The reports belong to accounting, so they appear once you've turned on accounting in Tredco. Ask the assistant to show you something — "show me the result", "how does the balance look?", "show the VAT return" — and Rapporter (Reports) opens beside the chat.

On a wide screen the reports sit in a list on the left, and you switch between them there. When the pane is narrow — on the phone, or when accounting shares the space with something else — that list collapses into a menu at the top instead; tap the name of the report you're on to switch. Either way, Rapporter opens on Dagbok (Diary).

See how the business is doing

If you just want to know how things stand, these three are enough:

• Resultat (Result) is the income statement: revenue minus costs, down to the operating result and the year's result. Turn on comparison to see this period against the last.
• Balanse (Balance) shows assets, equity and liabilities as of a date. At the top it tells you whether Balansen stemmer — the balance sheet balances.
• Prosjektresultat (Project result) takes it down to each job: revenue, costs, margin and how much you have left to invoice.

If all you want is the short read — your bank balance, what's on its way in, whether anything is waiting on you — you don't need the reports at all. That lives with the assistant and on the accounting home screen; see How the business is doing.

A closer look — trace every voucher

When you need to follow a single figure all the way down. The reports open on this one:

• Dagbok (Diary) is "everything that happened" in the accounts, in date order — sales, payments, bank imports, payroll. This is the accounting diary, not the project logbook.
• Bilag (Vouchers) is the journal: each voucher line by line, with debit and credit.
• Hovedbok (General ledger) shows the movements account by account, with a running balance.
• Saldo (Trial balance) is every account with its debit and credit totals, side by side.

Bank and VAT

Two of the reports tie closely to work you already do elsewhere in Tredco:

• Bank is the bank reconciliation — how many bank movements are matched to vouchers, and what's left. The full picture of how the bank is linked is in Invoicing and accounting.
• MVA (VAT) is the VAT return for the term. You file it in Filing the VAT return.

Export to your accountant

If an accountant or auditor is taking over, you'll find Eksporter (Export) at the bottom of the list, under a thin line. Tap it and choose SAF-T (XML). Tredco builds a Norwegian SAF-T file (Financial 1.30) with the whole period's accounts, and checks it before you download. It's the standard format every Norwegian accounting system reads.

The reports show what the agent has already posted. To see how a voucher is made before it lands here, read Approving the bookkeeping. If you'd rather have the short read on how the business is doing, see How the business is doing.
