Understand reports

Explain this number

Trace a report or GST amount back to the documents and lines that produced it.

Understand why a number appears instead of accepting an unexplained total.

In product validationInspect the formula, included sources, exclusions and drill-down route behind a report total.

Without this workflow

The problem

Report review no longer ends with a static number and a manual search through vouchers.

With Fastbooks

The controlled result

Users can inspect derivation, inclusion state, warnings and originating documents from the report itself.

Demonstration sequence

Show the workflow from evidence to outcome.

A feature page should make the user action, product transformation, review decision and accounting consequence visible in order.

  1. 1
    Open a report containing a traceable amount
  2. 2
    Select Explain this number
  3. 3
    Inspect formulas, included lines and exclusions
  4. 4
    Open the originating canonical document

    End on the retained accounting or review outcome, not on a decorative success screen.

Evidence gate

What must be proven before broad advertising.

Implementation is not the same as commercial proof. These checks define what representative validation must support.

  • Accounting, stock and GST report coverage
  • Included, excluded and partially included source lines
  • Safe drill-down to the same canonical document
  • No unexplained difference in retained-company validation

Fastbooks product doctrine

Prepare intelligently. Review explicitly. Keep one accounting authority.

Fastbooks may capture, classify and prepare work from different sources. Official numbering, posting, correction, reversal and reporting must still pass through the existing canonical owners and permission boundaries.
