Posted on: May 22, 2021 | By: Minela Covic | Microsoft Dynamics Business Central

Business Central allows for flexible financial reporting. Setups are typically easy and can be done by users without any development experience. Column layouts are where the periods of time are defined for financial reports. In this blog, you will learn how to create an Income Statement with 12 periods.

Print the report by going to Account Schedules. Select the Account Schedule for your Income Statement and the Column Layout you just created. Filter the date for the year you are viewing.

When you print the report, you will see the report with columns by month:
