The formatting rules are the same everywhere in the product, so once you know them you can read any screen:
- Negative amounts are shown in red, in parentheses:
(R 12,345.00). No minus signs to squint at. - Green is reserved for good news — profits, a successful check, a completed send. If something is green, it earned it.
- Amounts are aligned and evenly spaced so columns compare at a glance.
- Currency shows the way your region writes it — set under Admin → Regional by your administrator, along with whether statements display full rands, thousands (R'000), or millions (R'm).
Presentation vs raw ledger signs
Your ERP stores ledger amounts with accounting signs (income often sits as a negative in the raw ledger). Reports and statements here always present figures the way a reader expects — revenue positive, expenses positive — and handle the accounting signs underneath. If you compare a statement here to a raw ledger export and the signs look flipped, that's why; the totals still tie.
The verification line
Where a figure has been checked against a control — the daily till record, your general ledger — the report or the chat answer says so, including when a check only runs monthly or over a limited window. An unchecked number is never dressed up as a checked one.
