Running the Prior Year Trial Balance after closing the account period and income statement

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by CU01020732-0
Hello all,
 
I am new to Dynamic BC, and I have run my first year end closing and there is a problem.  
 
The steps I perform:
1) Run the "Trial balance" by choosing the period "01.01.2025..12.31.2025" (which is perfect and nice)
2) Closing the accounting period and close the income statement
3) Re-run the trial balance by choosing the period "01.01.2025..12.31.2025"
 
At this moment, I have an issue, I am not able to generate a "complete" trial balance.  Some expenses accounts that have number during 2025 are missing.  
May I know if my setting is wrong?   And I am able to get the complete picture in "closing trial balance" but failure to get it in "trial balance"
 
Many thanks for your help.

    Hi,
     
    This is standard behavior and following is the explanation.
     
    When you close any fiscal year and run Close Income statement batch, the resulting entries are posted with closing dates and not normal dates. For e.g. if your fiscal year end on 12/31/2025 then closing date is C12/31/2025.
     
    When you run trial balance report it does not consider C12/31/2025 but only till 12/31/2025. While Closing trial balance considers C12/31/2025.
     
    If you will check Trial balance report before or after running Closing Income statement it will give same result.
     
    I hope this helps you explain the difference.
     
    Regards,
    Dhiren.

    Hi Dhiren
     
    Thanks for your reply.  I should explain clearly related to trial balance: 
     
    Before close the income statement: 
    Marketing expenses as at 12/31/2025 =  1,500 
    Staff cost as at 12/31/2025 = 2,000
     
    By choosing "trial balance" function, date filter: 1.1.2025..12.31.2025, it able to show.
     
    After close the income statement, 
    By choosing "trial balance" function, date filter: 1.1.2025..12.31.2025, it only able to show some items, such as marketing expenses but staff cost is missing.
     
    I have no idea why.  May I know if there is any set up I have to check? 
     
    Many thanks for your help.
