Generating the Income Statement – Example (GUI)

How to Generate a Profit and Loss Statement - Example

Written by Lenka Haringerová

The profit and loss statement can be generated via Accounting - Accounting Outputs - Profit and Loss Statement:

If you have already generated the profit and loss statement for the given period and no accounting changes have occurred since then, you can simply choose Display in the next step. If you are generating the profit and loss statement for the given period for the first time, click the Recalculate button:

A table will then appear where you need to define the rows for certain accounts. If you have generated the profit and loss statement before, the values will already be filled in. If you are generating it for the first time, you will need to define them:

If you are unsure about the characteristics of the profit and loss statement rows, refer to a sample form, for example here:

Once you have filled in all the rows, you can click the OK button:

In the next step, Flexi will prompt you to select the period, define the rounding, and optionally select a cost center:

If you check the Change default prior period option, you can define the period that will appear in the prior year column. This feature is particularly useful when generating the balance sheet for only part of an accounting period and you want to compare the values against the same part of the previous period:

After defining these default values, you can click the Calculate button.

If you selected rounding for the profit and loss statement, a rounding difference may appear on a certain row. In that case, you need to select the row to which this difference should be added.

A table with the calculated values will then be displayed:

Using the "yellow printer" icon in the top menu, you can then display the income statement form that you currently need.

If the income statement does not look correct, we recommend using the Statement Rows (Account Breakdown) report, where you can see which specific accounts appear on each row.

The top menu displays the name Profit and Loss Statement - expense classification from 2016, but this does not mean that the balance sheet is calculated as of 2016 — it simply means that the profit and loss statement form has not changed since 2016 (the period for which the income statement is calculated can be found in the second row).


Generating the balance sheet and profit and loss statement in XML for electronic submission to Moje daně is available in all versions of the application. You can find it under Accounting / Accounting Outputs / Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Statement in XML.

The XML file will include the balance sheet and profit and loss statement outputs with the rounding setting applied during their last generation. For submission purposes, it is therefore necessary to recalculate the outputs with rounding set to whole thousands.

When using an XML file generated in this way, it must be loaded from the file into the Moje daně portal before signing in. Doing it in the reverse order results in the error "person could not be identified".
