Report on GL contra entries

The contra entry report presents entries and contra entries (their opposites) on a particular account over a defined period of up to 31 days. Each line item in the report shows a specific entry and a single or two contra entries with their source and reconciliation references. For example, for the entry on the GL account 120010 for EUR -448.84, the contra entry is on the GL account 120013 for EUR 448.84.
