# Trial Balance

> Generate and filter the trial balance report by fiscal year, period, and fund in the Finance & Revenue core.

The Trial Balance page is accessible at `/fa/reports/trial-balance` (primary) and also resolves from the legacy path `/fa/trial-balance` which redirects to `/fa/ledger?tab=trial-balance`.

## Overview

The Trial Balance page at `/fa/reports/trial-balance` renders `TrialBalancePage` (no permission gate on this specific route). The alternate path `/fa/trial-balance` redirects to `/fa/ledger?tab=trial-balance`.

The page provides three filter selectors:

* **Fiscal Year** (auto-selects the current year via `useFiscalYears`)
* **Period** (filtered by selected year via `useFiscalPeriods`)
* **Fund** (optional, via `useFunds`)

Trial balance data loads via `useTrialBalance`. Export is available via `ReportExportButtons`. The `TrialBalanceReport` component renders the account-level rows.

Observed row shape fields: `account_id`, `beginning_balance`, `period_debits`, `period_credits`, `ending_balance`, `debit_balance`, `credit_balance`, and related `account` sub-fields.

## Who it's for

Access follows your organization's role and module configuration. ## Before you start

* At least one fiscal year and period must exist.
* An organization must be selected.

## Steps

**Generate a trial balance**

1. Navigate to `/fa/reports/trial-balance`.
2. Select a **Fiscal Year** (auto-populated with the current year).
3. Select a **Period**.
4. Optionally select a **Fund** to scope the report.
5. The report renders automatically.

**Export the report**

1. Use the `ReportExportButtons` to download.

## Key concepts

* **Trial balance row**: Per-account balances with beginning balance, period debits/credits, and ending balance fields.
* **Auto-select**: The page automatically selects the current fiscal year (`is_current` flag) on load.
