Is there a way to pull an income statements Net Income into a Balance formula? Another alternative would be to somehow calculate net income. What would be the best way to do that?

To my knowledge, Intacct does not include a Net Income GL account.  Thus, the second method could be used.

For example, I created a list of all of my Revenue accounts and all of my Expense accounts.

I then used a combination of Velixo and Excel functionality:


This is a fairly simplistic example (in a real-world scenario, there may be revenue or expenses that should not be used in the calculation), but you get the basic idea.

The method would depend on the ERP being accessed.  For ERPs which include a "Net Income" GL account, it is a simple matter of retrieving the balance of that account.  For ERPs which do not include such an account, you could retrieve the balance of all the revenue accounts (using either a list of account numbers or a range of account numbers: Filtering techniques for use with many Velixo functions : Velixo Help Center ) and then subtract the retrieved balance of the expense accounts.
