| Financial Functions | Office Connector Financials delivers a set of new worksheet functions available for your use in Excel. The TSGLAmount function allows you to easily get a financial value from your general ledger data by specifying the desired fiscal year, period, prefix, and base account. All of the work is done for you to read the general ledger data values, and produce the requested value. With this, you can report the following types of values as of any desired fiscal period:
- Balance
- Period Activity
- YTD Activity
- Period Debit Activity
- YTD Debit Activity
| - Cash Balance
- Period Cash Activity
- YTD Cash Activity
- Period Debit Cash Activity
- YTD Debit Cash Activity
| - Period Budget
- YTD Budget
- Period Cash Budget
- YTD Cash Budget

| Roll-Back | The term “Roll-Back” normally refers to the process of deriving a balance for a prior period by starting with the Current Balance and then subtracting the account activity for one or more prior periods. With Office Connector Financials, you simply identify the desired Fiscal Year and Period. It then determines how many periods back the requested period is relative to the current period and then performs the necessary math operations to roll back. Provided the necessary historical amounts exist in your data, you can roll back up to ten years. |
| Roll-Forward | Sage 300 CRE General Ledger allows you to post transactions to six periods into the future relative to your current period. This allows accounting operations to continue even when you’re not ready to close a given period or fiscal year. If a period hasn’t been closed though, you may still wish to produce preliminary financials based on activity that has already been posted beyond the current period. Office Connector Financials allows you to do this by simply specifying the Fiscal Year and Fiscal Period for the future period. It then does the opposite of ‘Roll-Back’ by starting with the Current Balance and then adding the necessary future activity for the desired period. |
| Consolidations | If your company uses a GL prefix to identify multiple fiscal entities, divisions, departments, or properties, you likely need to produce consolidated statements that add together the amounts by base account for multiple prefixes. Office Connector Financials makes this process easy. When specifying the prefix you wish to report, you have the following options:- Distinct prefix (no consolidation)
- Prefix mask containing wildcard characters that results in a set of prefixes (e.g., all prefixes starting with “10-”)
- A list of prefixes (either in a simple text list, or as a range of cells)
|
| Partner Statements | When needing to prepare statements that reflect individual partner values based on percent of ownership, you can specify a Partner ID. Office Connector automatically calculates partner-level values based on percent of ownership in each prefix being included. |
| Multi-Folder | If you have multiple Sage 300 CRE data folders and need to prepare consolidated statements (drawing data from multiple folders), Office Connector Financials has this solved. Just specify the path to the data folder in each financial function (or a range of cells containing a list of data folders). |
| Calendar Year Statements | With Office Connector Financials, even if your fiscal year does not end on December 31st, you still have the option to produce financial statements based on the calendar year. |
