Pre-Allocation Comparative Trial Balance Report
Use this report to print a trial balance with comparative information representing the beginning year balance, beginning report period balance, and the current balance along with variance information. Pre-allocation transactions were set up through the Transactions > Allocations > Process Allocations form (see Processing Allocations). We recommend running this report before posting your allocation transactions.
This report prints in a stair-step format: all the account codes are in one column, all the account titles in another column, and all the account short titles in yet another column if selected. Since a trial balance shows account balances at a specific point in time, it is useful as a quick reference or analytical tool.
Note: This report does not include sessions with a status of "Batch-to-Suspend". However, it does contain any unposted transactions for allocation sessions (JVA-type transactions).
Tip: If you're not familiar with the MIP Cloud Report Builder interface, see Report Builder for an introduction.
