Trial Balance screen

Enter a client's ending account balances for each period

If you receive a client's ending account balances each period and don’t want to manually calculate the net change for each account, you can use the
Enter Trial Balance
 screen to enter those ending balances in the Trial Balance grid.
  1. Select
    Actions
    ,
    Enter Trial Balance
    , then select the
    Default
     view.
    note
    If necessary, set up a new view for your client that includes an Amount column with the following definitions:
    Amount type
    Period
    Year
    Unadjusted
    [CY] Current YTD
    C Current Year
  2. Enter the ending balances in the Amount column for the current posting period. The application will automatically calculate the net change and post that to the current period.
    note
    As an alternative, you can import a client's ending balances from a spreadsheet using the
    Chart of Accounts spreadsheet import
    .
