RW00.1 - Report Writer

**Form Purpose
Use Report Writer (RW00.1) to define all aspects of a Report Writer report.
You can only define one style for each report. For example, you cannot
complete a report by defining organization levels in Style 1 and rows in Style
2. To complete a report, you must define at least one Folder and Process
Group, a format, and row information.

**More Information

organization level columns. This is a Balance Sheet style report. To define
rows, you can use a chart of accounts.

Use the Style 2 form tab to define a report with organization level rows and
account columns. This is a Profit and Loss style report. To define rows, you
can use an accounting unit view.

Use the Style 3 form tab to define a report with organization level and
account rows with neither defined as a  column. This is a Income Statement
style report.

Use the Rpt Text form tab to define additional descriptions for the report.

Use the Distribution form tab to assign a group of people the report is sent
to, select a printer, select the number of copies, and save the report.

Use the Formats form tab to assign additional formats to the report.

Choose the Copy button to copy an existing report to help create a new one.

To complete a report, perform each function listed in one of the three style
folders. Do not mix the styles. For example, you cannot complete a report by
