The General Ledger Trial Balance provides a report, in account number sequence, of all selected accounts listing the Account Description, Beginning Balance for the period, the total of all Debit and Credit transactions, Net Change for the period and the Ending Balance for the period. The GL Summary provides totals for each account category (Assets, Liabilities, Income/Revenue, Expenses, Other Income/Revenue, Other Expenses), as well as a Grand Total. The General Ledger Trial Balance should be printed each month-end prior to running final Financial Statements.

 

The Report Writer application allows the user to filter, sort and manipulate this report so that they may customize the data extracted out of the system. See the additional documentation on Report Writer for more information on these options.
