The Current Period Trial Balance produces a trial balance which simulates the running of a month-end. This report produces a trial balance as though a month-end had been run but does not run a month-end. It does so by accessing the journal entries stored in the journal entry file for the current period, sums the records for each account, and treats them as though the month-end had been done and the accounting period bucket updated.
Report for Period
-
Enter the accounting period where 'YYYY' is the year, and 'PP' is the accounting period for which the trial balance is to be produced.
Show Commitments
-
Enter 'Y' to include commitments in the trial balance report.
-
Enter 'N' and no commitment information will show in the trial balance report.
Use the Dictionary
-
Enter 'Y' to cause the system to use the long form descriptions stored in the dictionary for each level of the account code structure. Use of this option produces a much more attractive and descriptive report.
-
Enter 'N' to use the descriptions as stored in the GL records.
Trial Balance Sub-Totals
-
Enter 'Y' for sub-totals
-
Enter 'N' if sub-totals not required.
Add Current Figures
-
Enter 'Y' if producing a report for the current period (before a month-end run).
-
Enter 'N' if producing a trial balance for a closed period (after a month-end run).
Note: Field Add Current Figures, if you say Yes to this field this implies that the report is for a period which has NOT been closed. When reporting on a CLOSED period, the response must be NO.
