The trial balance

You can choose from the following trial balance reports:

• Period Trial Balance – Shows what the nominal account balances were as at the end of the period specified. This report uses the nominal record monthly balances and includes brought forward values.
• Transactional Trial Balance – You can run this for a specific transaction date range. If required, you can also specify a transaction number range and department range. This report doesn’t include brought forward values so it shows the movement in the period. To see the nominal balances at a point in time, run the report from 01/01/1980 to the date required.
