Print Trial Balance Workspace

Use this workspace to print a trial balance for a given period.

The Trial Balance lists the following information for each account:

• Opening Balance—The opening balance of the account at the beginning of the specified period.
• Closing Balance—The closing balance of the account at the end of the specified period.
• Movements—The total movement posted to this account during the specified period.

The trial balance can include all G/L accounts, or the included accounts can be limited in a number of ways—for example, to departmental accounts or to a range of dimension values.

Select a value from the drop-down list for the Layout field to specify one of three format types: You can choose between three format types:

• Change—Select this value to show the period movements (that is, the total debits and total credits made to the account) and fiscal year-to-date figures.
• Opening—Select this value to show opening balances for the period.
• Value—Select this value to show the period movements. Maconomy will create one report for the dimension specified in the layout name. Each report will be ordered by account.

If you select the Calculate operating result in reports system parameter, Maconomy also displays the company's current operating result in the year-end closing account, calculated as the sum of the balances in the company's P&L accounts. In this way, the report simulates a year-end closing without creating the entries made during a year-end closing.

Note that if a trial balance is printed for multiple companies, and these companies use different fiscal years, the year-to-date figures may be misleading.

The report does not include accounts of the Single Line and Double Line type, and also ignores the Invert Sign specification.
