GL Trial Balance - Detail - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The GL Trial Balance - Detail report is a fundamental financial report that lists the balances of all General Ledger accounts, broken down by their individual segments (Company, Department, Account, etc.). Unlike a summary trial balance, this report provides the granular detail necessary for deep-dive analysis, period-end reconciliation, and audit verification. It serves as the primary “proof” that the books are in balance (Debits = Credits).
Business Use Cases
- Period-End Close: The primary tool used by accountants to verify that all subledger entries have been posted and that the trial balance nets to zero before closing the period.
- Account Reconciliation: Used to compare the GL balance of a specific account (e.g., “Accounts Payable”) against the corresponding subledger report (e.g., “AP Trial Balance”) to identify discrepancies.
- Audit Support: Provides external auditors with a complete listing of account balances at the end of the fiscal year.
- Variance Analysis: Allows analysts to compare balances across periods (if run for multiple periods) or to drill down into specific cost centers or departments.
Technical Analysis
Core Tables
GL_BALANCES: The primary source of data, storing the period-to-date and year-to-date balances for every code combination.GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS: Resolves the account segments.GL_LEDGERS: Defines the currency and chart of accounts context.- (XML Publisher Source): This report is often based on the standard Oracle XML Publisher data definition
GLTRBALD, which uses a package to extract data.
Key Joins & Logic
- Balance Calculation: The report aggregates
BEGINNING_BALANCE,PERIOD_NET_DR, andPERIOD_NET_CRfromGL_BALANCESto calculate theENDING_BALANCE. - Currency Handling: It handles “Entered” vs. “Accounted” currencies. For foreign currency accounts, it can show the balance in the original currency (e.g., EUR) as well as the functional currency (e.g., USD).
- Translation: If run for a translated currency, it uses the translated balances.
Key Parameters
- Ledger/Ledger Set: The entity to report on.
- Period: The specific accounting period.
- Currency: The currency to view (Functional, Foreign, or Translated).
- Amount Type: PTD (Period to Date) or YTD (Year to Date).
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
