Formulas are usually Totals of different categories. The most common ones used are:
- Total Assets (Total Current Assets, Total Non Current Assets)
- Total Liabilities (Total Current Liabilities, Total Non Current Liabilities)
- Net Assets
- Total Equity
- Total Revenue
- Gross Profit
- Total Expenses
- Profit and Loss Before Tax
- Profit and Loss After Tax
- Net Profit
Above are common items however any combination of lead schedules and other formulas can be used. Formulas can be added under an account type and/or a lead schedule, deleted and renamed.
Note: Signs will not be needed when inserting the formula as the calculations sum both debit and credit values from the trial balance.
