Overview 

A Standard Report can quickly and easily be cloned as a Custom Report. Then, the newly created Custom Report can be modified to create the exact report that you need. This is a timesaver from having to create a Custom Report from scratch.

The following Standard Reports can be cloned as Custom Reports:

• Profit & Loss
• Profit & Loss versus Budget
• Balance Sheet
