Prepare and Review a Trial Balance
How to Prepare and Review a Trial Balance in Muhasib ERP
Overview
This guide will help you produce a balanced trial balance and investigate material or unexpected account balances.
You get a balanced accounting control report and documented exceptions for correction or explanation.
Who can do this
You need access to Trial Balance access and authorized financial scope.
Before you start
Complete or identify pending postings, reconciliations, stock valuation, subledger controls, prior-period close, and approved materiality thresholds.
Before saving, check that the correct company is open and that you have permission to complete this task.
Where to find it
Back Office → Muhasib Financials → Trial Balance.
Prepare and Review a Trial Balance
Step 1: Select the company and exact as-of date or period
Step 2: Choose detail/hierarchy and zero-balance options where available
Step 3: Confirm total debits equal total credits
Step 4: Compare opening balances with the prior approved close
Step 5: Reconcile customer, supplier, inventory, tax, cash/bank, and retained-earnings controls
Step 6: Drill into material, unusual, negative, or suspense balances
Step 7: Export the reviewed version with filters and timestamp
Check your work
Debit and credit totals agree, control accounts compare and confirm, and closing balances roll into financial statements.
Take a moment to check your work before closing the window. This small check can save time later.
If something goes wrong
- A mathematically balanced report can still contain misclassifications.
- Confirm company, period, opening balances, and hidden account filters.
