Introducing Trial Balance Net Movement Report

November 3, 2020

Everybody knows that the Trial Balance report is the sum of debits and credits for every account of your business. In a nutshell, this Trial Balance report allows you to identify discrepancies in your account totals, produce financial statements, and ensure that your accounts are balanced for any given time period. To enhance this report, we added a new Net Movement feature. Now this report shows the account balances based on the selected date range, account information (code, name, type), and net movement.
This article originated from the Xero blog. The XU Hub is an independent news and media platform - for Xero users, by Xero users. Any content, imagery and associated links below are directly from Xero and not produced by the XU Hub.

G-Accon for Xero provides you with the ability to set up the Date Range for your data manually or you can refresh your data dynamically.
