How to get a leave liability report for a certain period

Toni

You could try this as a nasty approach:

a)  Go to the ACCOUNTS list, and scroll down to the "Leave Liability" account and

b) Double click to open the Leave Liability register.

c) In there, is a PRINT menu that lets you select the range of dates, and make the date31/3/15  to show the final balance after all transaction of that last dy, and the final balance of the ACCOUNT

This won't show a summary sub-total by employee or anything so detailed, but will provide you with a document that discloses the overall liability at that point in time, if that is what you are after.

Toni.   You've lodged your question tagged to the 'business range'  so I'm assuming yo uare running a business range:  Desktop version of the software, perhaps: Premium or Enterprise.  Because you are asking about the status of the 'liability' account,  I further assume you have such a "Other Current Liability"  account as part of the suite of payroll accounts in the Balance Sheet, and that is the "LEAVE LIABILITY" account that I'm expecting you to find in the Chart Of Accounts listing, to start the ball rolling with my suggestion.

But, as you know,m assumptions are dangerous,  so correct my assumptions and let's go from there.

Well - let's start over.    You say you missed the 31/3/15 report,  so let's start with the more recent one that you DO run okay (ie: the latest leave liability report.)   Run that, on your screen and drill down into the line items on that report and find out where your leave liability is being sent to.   Surely it is accruing away, pay run by pay run,  until such time as someone takes a few weeks of leave, whereupon the pay run would pay their salary out of such a liability.  At any point in time, there must be some liability line in your balance sheet that represents the amount of leave not yet taken.  That is the balance sheet item I believe you should be able to run a detailed report against.  IN fact, you can just start with a balance sheet, and select 31/3/15 as the 'as at' date,  and go and seek out that liability figure.

I'm assuming you are in fact running your payroll within the Enterprise package,  and not some external program which requires you to journal the results back into a set of expense and liability accounts each period??

Toni.  This is a community forum, so we don't expect you to divulge personal figures of course, and nor are we asking,  But there are some missing pieces of the jigsaw here, that need clarifying.  Perhaps you take my comments offline to call your Accountant/Bookkeeper who does these matters,  of if this person is yourself, perhaps you need to speak to an authorised Tax Agent conversant with these matters, to whom you are prepared to take better advice than my suggestions, or who knows where these figures are being posted each pay run to Reckon Accounts Enterprise.  

Happy either way to try and help!

Cheers
