Automate Trial Balance (PDF)

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hello -

Our properties routinely run trial balances for their various departments and distribute them on a periodic schedule (generally mid-month and at the end of the month). These are a fairly fixed structure (Posting Accounts, Current Period, Beginning of Prior Month > End of Prior Month or Beginning of Current Month > End of Current Month, filtered by two segments (Department and Main). Each property has some ~80 departments, and while some can be run in sequence, it still results in 20+ trial balance reports needing to be run. We of course do have them setup as templates, but ultimately looking for a method to have them (a) run automatically (b) save PDF to a shared drive location. 

Is this possible?

James

    Yes, it sounds possible to me but with customization.

    A trial balance is a listing of the various

    accounting general ledger balancesat the end

    of a specific accounting cycle. It is generally

    presented in a debit/credit format with debit

    balances appearing on the left and credit

    balances appearing on the right.

    Hi James

    You could perhaps create a Macro to run/save the reports.

    We do not really have any other means to automate the reports - you'd still have to fire off the Macro, but it could possibly be created to run/save each report so you only have to launch the 1 macro to run all your reports.

    Thanks!
