Building a TB in Management Reporter Designer - cannot get the right Opening Balances.

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 171

Hi MS community!

I am relatively new to creating and building reports within the MR tool. Recently, I've been tasked with generating a Trial Balance report that includes all main accounts, even those with a balance of $0.

After conducting research, I realized that I need to construct this report in MR. Currently, I am nearing completion of the report and have initiated a reconciliation process between the MR report data and the Standard Trial Balance Report in the GL module.

However, I have encountered a discrepancy specifically regarding the Opening Balances. Is there a recommended approach or solution to rectify this issue?

 
 
 
Thanks in advance,
Maria

    Hi Maria,
     
    Can you check the period covered option in column definition you took ?
     
    There will YTD, BB, periodic, check if you took the correct option.

    Hi,
     
    There are reports examples that are given by Microsoft. You can check them to help you in your report generation.

    Hi @Billur, @Saurabh and @Ramit,
     
    Please see below a screenshot of the column definitions in MR.
     
    I'm unsure what am I missing in this setup.

    Hi,
     
    The reason it is coming as opening balance because it is running for period wise, not yearly wise, meaning in TB D365 report, you have run as yearly but in MR this works as period wise, means monthly wise.

    Hi all,
     
    I have been trying to flag the below answer as verified, however, the page is always loading with no result.
     
    The solution for this was changing the OB period from 'BASE' to '1'
     
     
    Thx so much all.
    Maria
