# Chart of accounts printout

How to print a report of the chart of accounts in Sapera — choose account range, department and whether zero accounts should be included, and get the printout as PDF or Excel.

## What does the chart of accounts printout show?

The chart of accounts printout gives you a complete overview of the chart of accounts for the selected accounting period. It is a print-friendly version of the accounts you otherwise work with under **Accounting**, and it is typically used when you want to review the setup of the chart of accounts on paper, share it with your accountant or document how the accounts are set up.

For each account, the printout shows, among other things, **account number** and **account name**, **account type** (e.g. heading, sum account, profit/loss or balance account), **balance to date**, any **VAT code** as well as the **range of accounts** that a sum account adds together. In addition, the most important setup information for the account is shown, e.g. whether the account is active, and whether an actor is required when posting. So you get both the structure of the chart of accounts and the current balances in one printout.

At the top of the printout, the **department (organizational unit)** the printout covers is shown. If you do not limit it to a specific department, the printout covers all departments.

## How to print the chart of accounts

1\. Go to **Financial** and open **Accounting → Chart of accounts**. 2. On the Chart of accounts page, click the **printer icon** in the top right corner. 3. Select the **Chart of accounts** printout. 4. Fill in the fields you want to limit the printout with (see the description below). 5. Click the **print format** you want. You can get the printout as **PDF** or as **Excel** (xlsx), if you want to work further with the figures in a spreadsheet.

Access to Accounting requires that your user has permissions to the accounting part. If you are missing the printer icon or the **Chart of accounts** menu item, you should contact the person who administers users and permissions at your company.

## Parameters

Before you print, you can limit which accounts and which department the printout should cover.

### From account / To account

Here you specify the **account range** the printout should include. **From account** is the lowest account number, and **To account** is the highest. If you leave **From account** blank, there is no lower limit, and if you leave **To account** blank, there is no upper limit. If you fill in neither field, the entire chart of accounts is included.

### Include 0 accounts

Here you determine whether accounts **without a balance** (0 accounts) should be included in the printout. You can choose:

**Yes** — zero accounts are included, so the entire structure of the chart of accounts is shown, including accounts with no movements.

**No** — zero accounts are excluded, so you only see accounts with a balance.

**Not selected** — no special filtering is applied to this point, and the printout follows the default behavior.

### Org. unit

Here you can limit the printout to one specific **department (organizational unit)**. If you leave the field blank, the printout covers **all departments**. Select a department if you only want to see the chart of accounts for that part of the business.

If you need to find a specific department in the list, you can read more in [How to search in lists](https://support.sapera.io/en/articles/545-sadan-soger-du-i-lister.md).

### Settings support can configure

This printout has no special configuration settings beyond the choices shown in the print dialog. If you have specific wishes for the printout's appearance, you are welcome to contact support.
