What is the Balance Sheet Schedules page for?
Open this screen in Saral/accounts/account-reports
One kind of balance across every company in the group, at a date, from the cached balance sheet: Director Loan, Proforma, Related Party Loan, Duties & Taxes (CIS and PAYE, VAT, corporation tax), Accruals & Prepayments, WIP & Accrued Income, and Custom for any GL you search for. Accounts are picked by the report they are tagged to in the mapping drawer; a pivoted tab shows entity × category or entity × related party, a flat tab lists the accounts, and every row or cell opens the transactions behind it. The figures are the ledger's own balances as recorded — a schedule for the accountant, never a return. You enter: The as-at date, the tab, and on a grouped tab the sub-class to show (CIS, VAT or corporation tax; accruals or prepayments; WIP or accrued income); In Map accounts: which report each GL account belongs to — Director Loan, Proforma, VAT and the rest; On Related Party Loan: the counterparty's statement, uploaded as CSV or Excel in the given shape, and the date it is as at; On Custom: a GL name or code to search for. Saral fills: Every balance, per entity and per account, from each organisation's cached balance sheet at the date; Duties & Taxes also counts an untagged account whose name says VAT, PAYE/CIS or corporation tax, marked 'by name'; The group total, the number of companies and the number of accounts; the matrix with its row and column totals; the legend that says which way a signed loan balance points; On Related Party Loan: the difference grid between our side and the uploaded statement — a tick where the two net to nothing, an amount where they break, a dash for a party the upload never confirmed; The Director Loan tab's book, and the door from Proforma to the proforma register where each payment and its likely invoice live. It produces: A PDF and an Excel workbook of the open schedule, and an email with both; an export of our side of the related-party statement in the upload's exact shape, and a blank template for a counterparty not on Saral; The transactions behind any balance, in a drawer, for the accountant's working papers. Where the settings live: The tagging is the one setting, edited in Map accounts on this page. The financial year the date picker follows is Settings → Organisation → Financial year; HMRC's own balances are Accounts → HMRC Dues; the proforma register is Accounts → Proformas; director loan journals and resolutions are Accounts → Company Secretarial.
