Overview
The Balance Sheet in DizLog shows what your business owns (Assets), owes (Liabilities) and owner’s equity at a single point in time.
You can find it in:
Financials > Period-End Reports > Balance Sheet
The report is built from your accounting data and groups it into:
Assets – Cash, Inventory, Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Other Current Assets, Equipment, Accumulated Depreciation, etc.
Liabilities – Accounts Payable, Payroll Liabilities, Interest Payable, Income Tax Payable, Short-term and Long-term Loans, etc.
Owner’s Equity – Owner Equity, Net Income, and Retained Earnings.
The Net Income line in Equity is automatically computed from your Profit & Loss report; it is not entered manually.
Key Features
Location filter
Select one or more business locations using the Locations dropdown.
If you don’t pick any, the system automatically uses all locations.
“As of” date
A single date picker sets the cut-off date for the report.
The report shows balances as of this date (not for a range).
Collapse sort (detail level)
Collapse sort lets you control how much detail you see: Show all, Parent Accounts, Sub Parent Accounts, or Sub Accounts.
Period comparison & change view
Compare: None, Previous Period, or Previous Year.
When you choose a comparison, the system automatically calculates the previous date range (previous month, quarter, or matching number of days, or previous year).
A Change dropdown appears so you can show differences as $ Change or % Change.
Clickable account balances (drill-down to General Ledger)
Most account amounts are rendered as clickable links.
Clicking a balance opens the General Ledger / Chart of Accounts page with matching account and date filters, so you can see the transactions behind the total.
Export, print, and share
CSV export – creates a Balance Sheet file with Assets, Liabilities, Equity, and totals.
PDF export – generates a PDF using the same data and title (“Balance Sheet – As of [date]”).
Print – printer icon prints the on-screen report.
Share – share button prepares the Balance Sheet link for email, WhatsApp, or Facebook.
Built-in help
A Learn more link below the “Balance Sheet” title opens help content about understanding the Balance Sheet.
Connected modules
General Accounting > General Ledger / Chart of Accounts
Used for drill-down when you click on balances.
Profit & Loss (Period-End Reports)
Net Income on the Balance Sheet is derived from the Profit & Loss report for the same business, location, and period.
Other financial modules (Bills, Expenses, Cheques, Journal Entry, Accounts Payable/Receivable, Projects)
These modules post transactions into the same accounts that appear in the Balance Sheet. Those postings roll up into the balances displayed here.
Getting Started
Follow these steps to open the Balance Sheet:
Log in to DizLog with a user that has access to Financial reports.
In the left menu, expand Financials.
Click Period-End Reports.
Click Balance Sheet.
The Balance Sheet page opens with:
Locations set to All.
“As of” date usually set to today.
Collapse sort = Show all.
Compare = None.
You now see your company name, the report title Balance Sheet, and an “as of [date]” line at the top of the report body.
How to Use
1. Set the location and date
At the top of the page, open the Locations dropdown.
Choose one specific location or leave it as All to include your whole business.
Next to As of, click the date field.
Pick the cut-off date you want to see balances for. The report will refresh using that date.
2. Choose your level of detail (Collapse sort)
Open the Collapse sort dropdown.
Choose one of:
Show all – full detail for all account lines.
Parent Accounts – only main account groups.
Sub Parent Accounts – parent plus one level of detail.
Sub Accounts – detailed accounts under each group.
Use this if your Balance Sheet feels too long, or if you only want high-level totals.
3. Add a comparison (optional)
Open the Compare dropdown.
Choose:
None – show only the current “As of” date.
Previous Period (PP) – show the prior period using an automatically calculated date range (previous month, previous quarter, or previous set of days, depending on your current range).
Previous Year (PY) – show the same period one year earlier.
When you pick PP or PY, a Change dropdown appears:
$ Change – shows the numerical difference (current – previous).
% Change – shows the percentage change.
On the report body, each account will then display:
Current balance.
Previous balance (for the selected comparison).
Change column, colored green for increases and red for decreases.
4. Read the Balance Sheet sections
The report is organized as:
ASSETS
Current Assets: Cash, Inventory, Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Expenses, Other Current Assets, plus Total Current Assets.
Non-Current Assets: Equipment, Accumulated Depreciation, and Total Non-Current Assets.
TOTAL ASSETS: final total of all assets.
LIABILITIES
Current Liabilities: Accounts Payable, Payroll Liabilities, Interest Payable, Income Tax Payable, Short-term Loans, and Total Current Liabilities.
Non-Current Liabilities: Long-term Loans and Total Non-Current Liabilities.
OWNER’S EQUITY
Owner Equity, Net Income (from P&L), Retained Earnings, and TOTAL EQUITY.
In a balanced set of books, Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity.
5. Drill down to see transactions
To understand how a balance is made up:
In the report body, look for amounts styled as links (typically underlined or colored).
Click the amount (for example, Cash or Accounts Payable).
DizLog builds a URL pointing to the Chart of Accounts / General Ledger page with:
the right account type (Assets, Liabilities, Equity),
the specific account ID,
and the same start and end dates used on your Balance Sheet.
On that ledger page you can review the individual transactions that sum to the balance.
6. Export, print, or share the report
At the top-right of the filter bar, use the buttons:
CSV button – downloads a CSV file containing all accounts and balances, organized by Assets, Liabilities, and Equity.
PDF button – exports the same information into a formatted PDF report.
Print button (printer icon) – opens the browser print dialog for the on-screen report.
Share button – opens options to share the current Balance Sheet link via email or social apps.
Save or send the file as needed for management, auditors, or partners.
Troubleshooting
1. “The Balance Sheet is empty or all zeros.”
Check the “As of” date.
Make sure it is on or after the date you started entering transactions.
Check Locations.
If you have location-specific transactions, ensure the correct location(s) are selected.
Confirm that transactions are posted.
Bills, expenses, invoices, and journal entries must be fully saved/posted in their own modules so they flow into the report.
2. “Totals don’t look right.”
Drill down on suspicious balances.
Click the amount to open the linked ledger view and verify the underlying transactions.
Check comparison settings.
If Compare is set to Previous Period or Previous Year, you might be looking at change columns instead of just the current total. Consider switching Compare back to None.
3. “I don’t see the Change column.”
Make sure Compare is not set to None. The Change selector and its column only appear when a comparison period is selected.
4. “Clicking a total doesn’t open anything.”
Only balances that have a defined ledger mapping become clickable links (for example, Cash, Inventory, Accounts Payable, Retained Earnings). Some totals or summary rows may be plain text by design.
5. “CSV or PDF doesn’t download.”
Check if your browser blocked the download or print pop-up.
Try again and look at your browser’s downloads area; files are named similar to balance-sheet.csv or balance-sheet.pdf.
This guide covers how to view, compare, drill down, export, and share your Balance Sheet in DizLog, and how it connects to the General Ledger and Profit & Loss reports that supply its figures.
