Matrix Trial Balance (New Trialbalance)

The Matrix Trial Balance Report displays a summarized financial picture of the four ledgers - Deposit Ledger, Guest Ledger, Package Ledger, and A/R Ledger. If the OPERA_AR parameter is set to ‘No’ the A/R Ledger column does not display, and if the value is ‘Yes’ the column for A/R Ledger will be displayed. The Net Amount column displays the amounts per the transaction code, and Net Revenue displays the transaction codes that have been marked as Revenue. This report is essential for the manager, as it checks whether all the important figures balance. Each section displays the opening balance for the ledger, a summary of the transactions of the day, and the closing balance. This report may be used for balancing and reconciliation for all ledgers for the day.

The total of the Deposit Ledger, Guest Ledger, Package Ledger, and AR Ledgers shown on this report will balance with the  Trial Balance report.

Payments posted internally to an AR Account appear in the Internal DB column. This column is used only for display purposes since it does not affect any other Ledger calculation in the report. Internal DB refers only to the sum of the invoice amount that was recorded when the invoice was created in the AR module. This amount is recorded internally in a special record (DB) that is associated with the transaction code configured in the Cashiering>AR Settlement Code application setting. The information in this column can help the hotel match the total Direct Bill amount for a given day between the Financial Payment and Revenue report (findeptcodes) and the Matrix Trial Balance report (matrix_trial_balance).

Payments posted to an AR account through Cashiering appear in the AR Ledger column. The total of the postings in these columns equals the amount for the Direct Bill transaction code on the Financial Payment and Revenue report (findeptcodes).

The following table displays how each of the amounts are calculated in the Matrix Trial Balance:
