Hello all,

I am looking for ways to reverse the sign for some of the row sets in ARM. For eg: in cash flow statement the AR A/c displays the correct figure but in negative manner. Thats not smooth for the end user whenever they see this negative figure. So how can I reverse it to positive figure? What shall I follow in Row Set or Column set?

@Harry I answered your other post as to why AR is negative on this report.  You do not want to just flip the AR sign or the report would be incorrect.  

In accounting, Net Income is recorded as a credit balance, which is showing as positive on this report, On the other hand, AR is a debit account which decreases the Net Income.
