Greetings, Can you allow us to generate simple credit/devit reports for our employees? I understand you have fully functional payroll and payslip reporting system. But the current reporting system for eployees is too much detailed and it is hard to explain. I want simple reports for employees that shows just debit and credit amounts for a specific time period. I guess adding this option will not be hard to implement since we already have such reports available for customers and suppliers. ---

I think you would find debits and credits harder to explain to employees than the current Employee Summary or Payroll Summary reports. They would be backwards from most employees’ expectations. ---

Are you are looking for something like a Supplier/Customer statement for Employees? ---

Yes Exactly ---

I think it varies from business to business. For me, i have created a separate business file where i have added my employees as customers just for the sake of easy reporting. ---

Yes, I get you, but most users wouldn’t need it. ---

Combing entities which interact with Manager into a contacts list with check boxes to determine if each is in the employee, customer, supplier, expense claim payee list would achieve what you want but is not yet a forum “Idea” yet but has been suggested by multiple users [Copy Customer to Supplier and vice versa - #2 by Patch](https://forum.manager.io/t/copy-customer-to-supplier-and-vice-versa/31032/2) ---

@Patch Your idea sounds great too. But I think it would require completely changing the data structure of how manager works. What i am asking for doesn’t require any big changes. The employees table is already present with debits and credits. I just want those debits and credits reported the same way as the are for a customer or supplier. ---

So you want a report showing Employee : xxxxx Pay period 1 650.00 Paid dd/mm/yy 650.00 Pay period 2 650.00 Paid dd/mm/yy 650.00 Not sure what this will achieve - I am sure your employees can work out what they are owed and when You do provide them with Payslips, I presume ---

**Let me explain it with some pictures.** So Here is an employees account shown transactions for past two months. How can i turn all of this data into a report? ![Untitled-2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/5/9/59347e1a5e9e84ee205e35518cddd3b9ff1b3f5d.jpeg) When i go to Reports \> Employee Summary. It shows only the payslips. ![Untitled-2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/1/a/1a1e9842a72c37616bc8d4d5e14e835ff7d980a6.jpeg) What i am looking for is a detailed statement that shows every credit and debit happened in a specific time period. Just like it does in a customers’s statement: ![Untitled-4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/b/2/b2e890fc3e168c467743d4508ddff82e9f5c22f8.jpeg) ---

Why don’t you copy the employees account listing to a spreadsheet? That would be more informative to most employees than debits and credits. Or you could create a custom report for each employee. ---

It is not possible to get opening and closing balance in a custom report. Copying values for each employee to spreadsheet and filtering and formatting them takes too much time. I think the option for such reports is already present in manager, you just have to make it available for employees. ---

You started by asking for debits and credits. Now you have added opening amd closing balances. What do you really want? ---

I want a report ‘Employee Statement’ that shows opening balance, closing balance and the transactions between them. Just like a customer’s statement. ---
