Profit and Loss - 5 Years Comparaison

The Profit and Loss - 5 Years Comparaison workbook displays your organization's revenues, expenses, and net income across the last five fiscal years, with one column per year based on the period you select. It covers the same profit and loss lines throughout, making it easy to spot trends, growth patterns, and year-over-year shifts in financial performance over a longer time horizon than a single-year comparison would show.

Selection page

When you open the workbook, the Selection Page appears before the workbook loads. Fiscal Year and Fiscal Period are required fields and must be completed before you can proceed. You can also click the Selection Page sheet at any time to update your parameters directly.

  • Fiscal Year – the fiscal year for the profit and loss statement. (required)
  • Fiscal Period – the period used as the "as of" date for the report. (required)
  • Company
  • Department
  • Cost Center

Profit and Loss

The report shows profit and loss totals for the same period across five consecutive years. Each year column reflects the posted activity for every profit and loss line based on the Fiscal Year and Fiscal Period you selected.

Mapping

The profit and loss statement is organized into sections covering operating, investing, and financing activity. Each Report Section is linked to a Report Code that determines which accounts are included and how totals are calculated. Two mapping tables control this structure. In most cases, these tables should not be modified. Changes are typically only required if your Sage 200 account structure differs from the default setup or if accounts are appearing in the wrong section.

The first table defines the main cash flow sections and is refreshed manually when code assignments change in Sage 200.

The second table controls which report codes are extracted and feeds the profit and loss dynamically. Update this table if specific account groupings need to be added or adjusted.
