GLTB - TRIAL BALANCE

Note: TRIAL BALANCE - you must run this program before monthly financial statements. Enter the number for the current period of your fiscal year. When you have reached the end of your fiscal year and you have completed the 12th month, you will need to close to retained earnings and close the year. See the end of year procedures.

Note: Each time you make an adjustment in the General Ledger, you must re-run the "GLTB". You may run as many times as you wish before you run the "GLS" Set Up For New Month program.

The program brings up the following screen:

General Ledger Trial Balance Ok to Process? Y/N: ?

"N" will exit the program.

"Y" will run the program. You will get the following screen:

ENTER ACCOUNTING PERIOD (01-12): - This defaults to the fiscal accounting period after the one that has been closed. If it defaults to the accounting period you thought you had completed, you probably have not run the "GLS" = New Month Set Up. Check "GLI" = Current Account Inquiry, to see if entries for the period just completed are still in the current period. If they are, you have not set up for new month and are still working in that fiscal period. If entries are made for the next period without setting up for new month, the entries will have to be reversed or you will have two months together. The "GLM" header account sets up the fiscal period completed.

ENTER PERIOD ENDING DATE: [MMDDYY ] - Enter the ending date of the fiscal period you are working in by entering the month, day, year.

ARE YOU SURE: _

"N" the cursor will go back to the ending date field where you may change.

"Y" will process the program.

A report will be printed.

The beginning balance, current period entries, and account balance will be shown for all accounts.
