Debit totals and ending balances are displayed for periods 1 through 4. Remember that amounts are not displayed for a period until the Trial Close process has been run for the period. As you can see period 2 has a debit total of $2,500.00 and an ending balance of $4,000.00. The credit total for period 2 is the difference between the ending balance and the ending balance of the previous period, plus the debit total, or $3,500.
