[GNC] Trial Balance Report Bug?

[John Ralls]

The default trial balance report is point-in-time as indicated by the title “Trial balance <Date>”. If you want a time period report select No adjusting/closing entries or Full end-of-period work sheet in the Report Variation field on the report options General tab.

Regards,
John Ralls
