What this page is for
This report lists every account with movement in a period — its debits, credits and the closing balance it carries — and states plainly whether the books balance: total debits against total credits. It is what you check before a period is closed.
Everyone whose role can view accounting sees this report.
If any posting due in the period has not yet run, a notice above the figures says how many are waiting, failed or stopped retrying, and by how much the figures could still change; a tick instead says every posting up to the end of the period has run.
Where the two sides differ, a notice says by how much, and makes clear this is a fault in the books, not a rounding difference: the period cannot be closed until it is found.

Worked examples
Supermarket
Tumaini Supermarket's accountant runs the trial balance for September before closing the period. It balances exactly, so she proceeds to Period close.
Restaurant and bar
The Acacia Grill & Bar's trial balance shows two sides differing by KES 1,200.00. The notice above the figures names the sum stuck in Ledger postings waiting to post, and once those post, the two sides agree.
