To see the costs and revenues of a holding that has subsidiaries, click the Holding overview button in the Profit & Loss financial report. The Profit & Loss - Holding Overview tab allows you to analyze the profit and loss of the holding. The journal entries of the subsidiaries are displayed in individual columns.
The Isah Finance journal supplies the details of the financial report 'Profit & Loss'. In the journal, the turnover is generally presented as a credit (negative) amount, and the costs as a debit (positive) amount. This means that the profit - the sum of ledger accounts of the type Profit & Loss - is shown as a negative amount in the journal. The actual and budget values in the report 'Profit & Loss' are multiplied by -1, so that a positive total is presented as a positive result.
Settings
Use the settings on the left-hand side of the form to define the contents of the report:
Tree structure

The next tab of the report 'Profit and loss' displays the result by period.
Sales order information
You can retrieve the corresponding sales orders from the Actual values column. To do so, right-click in a cell with actual values (for example, on the line 'Gross profit'), select the 'Drillthrough' option, and then select 'Sales order data' or 'Grouped by sales order'. The 'Sales order data' option displays a list with ledger accounts and sales orders, and the 'Grouped by sales order' option groups the data by sales order.
