  5. Particulars is the group or account name. Opening Balance shows the Debit and Credit at the start of the period and Closing Balance at the end.

Good to know

  • The total Debit and the total Credit must be equal. When they differ, Difference In Opening Balance shows the gap; check the opening balances of your accounts.
  • From Date and To Date go together: with only one of them the report shows the message "To Date is required" or "From Date is required".
  • Only the groups and accounts that have a closing balance are listed.
  • Trial Balance is part of Core Accounting. If Core Accounting is not in your plan, the page takes you to the App Store.
  • A user who cannot see all locations sees only the figures of their own location.
