LUSID can produce financial reports in accordance with the double-entry system for all the economic activity in one or more transaction portfolios between two points in time.
To get started, you must set up an ABOR (accounting book of record) for those portfolios. See how to do this.
Providing you have appropriate permissions, you can interact with financial reports using the LUSID web app:
Alternatively, you can interact programmatically:
- Using the APIs in the Abor, Abor Configuration and Chart of Accounts collections.
- Using equivalent methods in the LUSID SDKs in various languages.
- If you have a Luminesce license, using a set of providers.
