Software Glitch
I discovered a major software glitch in Community Suite.
When I go to Financials > Trial Balance – you get a report with debit and credit account balances which equals each other as it should.
When you choose the Detail Trial Balance you get a report with a begin balance, debits, credits and ending balance. The problem is if you tally the beginning balance or ending balance it does not equal. The tally of the beginning and ending balance should equal zero. If you are putting all the balances into one column, ie beginning or ending balance, accounts with a credit balance should be reported as a negative number on the detail trial balance. Your detail trial balance reports every number as a positive number. This makes the detailed trial balance as a totally worthless report.
In a detail trial balance, you should be able to take the beginning balance add the debits, subtract the credits to get the ending balance

This is a major flaw in this report. I agree with the comment above that this is a totally worthless report. It is an extremely important report because this is the report we provide the auditors to upload into their system. It is also, a report our board treasurer uses each month. This is a very basic report that should be easily downloaded which can be used for multiple purposes.
