T24 Reporting Introduction

In Financial Accounting course, you have learnt how various types of accounting entries
are generated and how they are consolidated into CAL and CPL records.
You will, in this course, learn about the different tools and techniques used for generating
reports using the data available in CAL and CPL records.

T24 Reporting Introduction

In T24, a report is built like a traditional house.

To build a house, first we build a strong foundation, upon which we build the Columns,
then the Roof and finally the Walls. Of course, we build the house depending upon the
requirements and specifications.
Extending this analogy, for a T24 financial report, the foundation or the primary source of
information is the CRF (Central Reporting File), which as you know comprises the two
consolidation tables CAL and CPL (CONSOLIDATE.ASST.LIAB and CONSOLIDATE.PRFT.LOSS).
A T24 financial report is like any other report, a two dimensional array of columns and
rows. In T24, we refer to the rows as lines. Similar to building a house, to design a T24
financial report, you have to first design its Columns and Lines. The Columns are the type of
information to be reported across a report column. In T24, once you design a column, you
can use it across any report. It could represent an opening balance, a closing balance, total
credit transactions, total, etc.
Finally, the Lines decide which information is reported in a row. For example, in the first
row, you may decide to report deposits and in the second row the loans.

You will now see some of the financial reports generated in T24 to learn their important
design components. Various types of reports can be produced from T24 Central Reporting
File (CRF) balances. The screenshot shows the specimen of a report produced.
This report shows the Closing Balances under different groupings like Cash, Due from
Banks, etc. Above the Line 0030 CASH, you can see individual CAL keys listed with
balances. Such a report which reports CAL keys and information from them, are known as
CRF reports.
If you further analyse the report, you can see that it has three Columns and multiple Lines.
The first column holds sequence Nos. and the second column is the description of Lines.
You can see that they do not hold any financial information, and thus we will refer to
them as “Descriptive Columns”. While the third one, which reports financial amounts will
be referred to as a “Financial Column”.
If you look at the first and second Lines, there is no amount under the financial column,
and we will refer to such Lines as “Heading” Lines. You can see that in the Line 0030 Cash
Balance, there is an amount, and we will refer to it as a “Detail” Line. Finally, you can see
that in the TOTAL CASH Line, though there is a financial amount, no keys are listed above
that. Why? Because, it is not reported from CAL keys, but a calculated total is printed here.
We will refer to such Lines as “Total” Lines.
To recap, CRF reports contain amounts only from CRF i.e. CAL and CPL tables. A report
comprises of some descriptive and some financial columns. Similarly some Lines are just
Headings, some report financial amounts and some just report totals.

T24 Reporting Introduction

If you compare this report, with the previous one, you can see that this report gives the
details of individual cash account balances under the row Cash Balance. For instance,
details like Customer, Account Number, Interest rate, Interest Day basis, Value date etc.
which are fetched from T24 Balance files/Applications like Accounts and Contracts. Such a
report, which gives the balances of individual accounts and contracts under a
consolidation key, is referred to as a CRB report.
CRB reports are also based on the CRF base i.e. CAL and CPL tables, and in addition they
report the balances of underlying contracts and accounts.

The screenshot shows a CRD (Difference) report containing the balances of underlying
contracts and accounts.
The report lists the difference, if any, between consolidation records’ balances and
balances of underlying contracts and accounts.

P&L and net position equals to zero

T24 Reporting Introduction

Combined CRF reports can be produced for a group of Companies. The reports are known
as CRC reports, and the Report Id will be pre-fixed with CRC.
This functionality is available for both Multi-Company and Multi-Book environments.
Combined reports can be produced online by verifying the RE.CONSOL.REQUEST
application record or by attaching such records in the Batch: EB.CONSOL.PRINT.

 We have two broad types of reports which can be designed in T24.
The first one is a report with closing balances. This report will give information of closing
balances of accounts, contracts and profit and loss headings. Note that such a report
pertaining to Assets and Liabilities report is shown here with one columns, showing the
day’s closing figures.
The second type of a report is one showing movements. This report will give information
on opening balance, debit and credit movements and closing balance for a day. In short, it
will display intra-day movements. Example of such report is a Profit and Loss report with
opening balance, debit movements, credit movements and closing balance for a day. The
CAL and CPL records are designed to hold intra day movements. The CAL records hold the
closing balance not as one figure, but as a maturity date-wise schedule.
For example, a T24 Bank has given two loans on 3rd of January, 2008, the first one
maturing on 10th June and second one on 15th June, same year. All consolidation conditions
are same for the two loans. On 3rd of January, when these two loans are consolidated
under the same console key, the closing balances of the two balances will be shown under
different maturity dates.
