Trial Balance

This section describes the fields and descriptions on the Trial Balance report.

The Trial Balance report displays all financial postings summarized for the selected fiscal periods for each account. Both profit and loss and balance sheet accounts are included.

The report has the following tabs:

  • One tab displays opening, closing, and debit/credit balances for the year-to-date.
  • One tab displays opening, closing, and debit/credit balances for the selected fiscal periods.

Your specified reporting structures determine the format of account headers and subtotals on the report. You can display amounts in account, company, or enterprise currency, or using a selected reporting currency. Amounts are grouped by currency and company.

  • The report corresponds to the Print dialog box’s Print Trial Balance option.
  • The Debit and Credit columns link to the Finance Transactions report.
  • The Account column links to the Accounts workspace. The link is based on the account number (for example, 10010).
  • The Company title links to the Companies workspace.
Note: The year-period restrictions provided in the report vary according to fiscal periods. If you are working with odd fiscal years, these restrictions are different from the year-month restrictions applied in the corresponding Maconomy client report because that report works in calendar months.
