Field Description
Report Name You can change the default report name.
Group Table If you want to use an account group to organize the account information in the report, select the group in Group Table.

Note that the Trial Balance report does not display data at the summary account group level.

Account Base Rollup Use Account Base Rollup to summarize account information based on specific digits of the account number. For example, you could consolidate information for all accounts that share the same first two digits or for accounts that share the final two digits.

If you summarize accounts, the report displays the name of the first account in the range of summarized accounts as the name for the summarized data. This is true even if no amount is posted to that account.

The Account Base Rollup slider box shows the format of your firm’s account numbers (for example, 123.45 for a five-digit account number with a period separating the first three digits from the last two).

To roll up account numbers, drag a slider to cover the characters that you want rolled up. You can drag a slider from the left side of the slider box, the right side, or both sides.

Organization Lookup If your firm uses organizations in Vision and you want to generate the report for selected organizations rather than for the whole company, click in Organization Lookup to display the Organization Lookup dialog box. In that dialog box, select the organizations for the report.

If you use the Multicompany feature, the default is the organizations in the active company, but you can change that setting.

Cash Basis Select this option to generate the cash-basis version of the report. This option is not available if the cash-basis reporting feature is not enabled.
Account Subtotal Select this check box to display a subtotal row for each group of related accounts, based on the number of account digits that they share. You specify the number of digits to compare in Digit.

For example, if you enter 2 in Digit, the report displays a subtotal row for each set of account numbers that begin with the same two digits. If you have accounts 101.00, 102.00, 103.00, and 104.00, the report displays a subtotal row for this set of accounts.

Digit If you selected Account Subtotal, enter the number of beginning digits that the accounts to be subtotaled must share.
Label If you selected Account Subtotal, enter a label for the subtotal row. Most firms use Subtotal for the label.
Period Selection Select the reporting period for account balance data from the following options:
  • Current — Vision displays data for the current accounting period.
  • Year-to-Date — Vision displays data for the current fiscal year to date.
  • Period Range — Vision displays data for the range of accounting periods you specify.
Display Amounts in Presentation Currency Select this check box to display all amounts in a single presentation currency.

Select the presentation currency in Presentation Currency. In Exchange Rate as of, enter the date you want Vision to use to select the exchange rates when it converts other currencies to the presentation currency.

Presentation Currency If you select Display Amounts in Presentation Currency, select the presentation currency for the report in Presentation Currency. The drop-down list contains the currencies enabled for your enterprise.
Exchange Rate as of If you select Display Amounts in Presentation Currency, enter the date you want Vision to use to select the exchange rates when it converts other currencies to the presentation currency.

Vision uses the exchange rates from the daily exchange rate table for the date you specify.
