The General Ledger (GL) Trial Balance Report in Sage 300 is one of the most essential financial reports for accountants and auditors. It provides a detailed view of account balances within a selected date range, helping businesses ensure their books are balanced and accurate.

The Trial Balance Report shows the opening balances, debits, credits, and closing balances of General Ledger accounts. It acts as the foundation for preparing financial statements such as the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss (P&L).

Key benefits include:

  • Verification of account balances
  • Identifying discrepancies in postings
  • Assisting in month-end and year-end closing
  • Supporting auditors with detailed account-level data
