  120. calculations, for example, of hourly rate by elapsed time have already been ì

  172. you  after  you have defined some default values in option  3.   They  draw ì
  173. their  financial data from the activity records.  They will both print  out ì
  174. the  same values on each statement, but the Detail Statement will show  you ì
  175. the activities that were summarized to the statement.  
  176.  
  177. Remember that the statements module will take all positive values, add them ì
  178. together,  then  subtract any negative ones it finds in  activity  records.  ì
  179. This  is important to know if you want to reflect payments made against  an ì
  180. account,  as with a CPA, or if you want to show payoff  history  associated ì
