Go to <b>Accounts → Reports → Group Summary</b>.

Report title in ERP: <b>Account Group Summary</b>

<p><b>What it shows.</b> Pick a parent account (for example Current Assets or Operating Expenses). The report rolls up each leaf account underneath with opening balance, debits, credits, and closing balance, plus grand totals.</p>

<p><b>When to use it.</b> Use to review a section of the chart of accounts without opening each ledger separately — for example all operating expense accounts under one parent.</p>

<p><b>How amounts are calculated.</b> Opening is as of the day before the start date; closing is as of the end date. Period debits, credits, and net come from posted journal activity. For Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable groups, only accounts with any activity are listed. Rows sort by closing balance, highest first.</p>
<p><b>Notes.</b> Hide Zero Balance removes accounts with no opening, movement, or closing balance.</p>
