Accounting variance report

You can use the accounting variance report to compare the existing data in your system with the posted data in the accounting application, providing insights into any discrepancies. For example, if the data in the Sales Accrual report does not match the posted data, then you can use the accounting variance report to identify those discrepancies and fix them accordingly. You can view the report based on your preference using the provided filters. For example, you can view the posted items data and the current items data, by selecting Invoices as Report Type and Items as the Sub-report Type.
