Reports SQL-Ledger appears to be bland in comparison to Windows-based applications in this regard as it is just a browser based interface. However, what it lacks in looks and interface limitations, it covers up with functionalities, and one such functionality is that of generating reports. SQL-Ledger provides a 'Reports' option for almost all modules like AR, AP, Cash, Order Entry, Goods & Services, etc. And even for sub-menus like Customers and Vendors, a reporting feature is also provided.
For each category the reporting requirements are different, and SQL-Ledger has demarcated these requirements effectively. All report screens are prefaced by a configuration screen where search-text, report filters and columns to be included in the report are specified, resulting in good flexibility in the data that is presented on the resulting report. The reports that are created for each module can be printed or sent as a PDF, PostScript, or HTML attachment.
But this could become a cumbersome process for some daily reporting tasks, so if there could be an option of saving these configuration settings for reports in SQL-Ledger, it would have been a useful functionality as the user wouldn't need to specify these settings each time when he has to create a report.
SQL-Ledger does not provide a rigid interface for templates for the reports, as these can be edited to change placement of a particular item or to carry a company's logo. HTML templates can be modified through System > HTML Templates, and then by selecting the appropriate template that you choose to edit. When you click on a template, its overview is displayed in the main right screen, which has an Edit button at the bottom. For editing the template, click this edit button and the template's HTML code opens up in an editor view for making changes.
Conclusion SQL-Ledger provides ease of use, non-cluttered interface, but is not a sophisticated solution to be used by large enterprises. However, it suits the requirements for small businesses very well.
