Hi There,
I am a software engineer so don't know accounting much.. though I have an idea... ive converted existing chart of accounts of my company in database... and recording transactions like this.
Date: 01/01/07
Voucher no. : 909111
Voucher Type : Bank Voucher
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Account no... Particulars... Debit... Credit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01001(HSBC)... Hongkong Shinghai Bank... 50,000...
40010 (Party)... Party whom I am paying... 50,000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now as you can see I am saving all the transactions in a file in two fields debits and credits and also adding and subtracting the amount from the respective accounts lets say
Lets assume Last balance in HSBC was 90,000 and party balance was 0
01001 HSBC ---> 90,000 (-) 50,000... now its 40,000
40010 Party ---> 0 (+) 50,000... now its 50,000
If I do another transaction like the above
Date: 02/01/07
Voucher no. : 1212121
Voucher Type : Bank Voucher
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Account no... Particulars... Debit... Credit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01001(HSBC)... Hongkong Shinghai Bank... 2,000...
40010 (Party)... Party whom I am paying... 2,000...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The balance should be the following
01001 HSBC ---> 38,000
40010 Party ---> 52,000
Now my question is how do I make trial balance... I just need the concept how to pick entries and what to do... I am keeping all the current balances somewhere in a place called balance but I don't know how to make a trial balance so your guidance is required to tell me how to pick entries and how to calculate.
Thanks
Thanks in advance.
