## [[UseCases/GeneratingReports]] Evaluation

### Positive
- Capable of Trial Balance and Chart of Accounts reports.

- Possible to create [custom reports](http://doc.tryton.org/3.0/trytond/doc/topics/reports/index.html)

### Negative
- Does not seem to support funds, thus it is not possible to generate reports for a specific fund.
