This report prints a standard Trial Balance. It does not need to be formatted in the system like the other financial reports. The report includes a list of all G/L Account Numbers, descriptions, and the current balance of each account in either a debit or credit column followed by a total of all debits and credits. Use this report to see if a period is in balance prior to running a Balance Sheet. When you enter this report module, the screen will appear as follows:
The cursor will be positioned at the Company ID (1) prompt. If applicable, use the drop-down menu to select a different Company. The Period (2) field will default to the current open period in the system. You can type an earlier period for the year if applicable. The fields in the Select (3) box will not be available if the current period is selected. However, if you type an earlier period in that field, you can then access these fields, though you cannot select Next Year if that period is still open in the current year. If you wish to access archived data, click the Previous Year option and the system will display an FYE drop-down menu so you can select a prior year. If you click the Print Accounts with Zero Balance (4) option, the report will exclude any accounts with zero detail. Click the Excel icon (5) to export the data, or click the Print (5) button to print to paper or screen. To exit without printing, click the Cancel button.
