Hi all,

I would like to export the ledger transactions from D365 FinOps for the specific period for Auditing, hence would like to generate transactions that includes the opening balance and the current transactions covering the period.

Can you guys advise what is the quicker way to generate it? from Data management or via report?

Thanks

Ett

Hi,
You can check if Trial balance with transactional detail report meets your needs, The document mentions that When you generate the report, you can include the following detailed general ledger transactions on it: Posted transactions、Pending transactions、All transactions. And including the following information in the rows：Opening balance、Debit or credit amount、Ending balance. Trial balance with transactional detail report - Finance | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn

DMF might export quicker but would require some data cleansing - columns in alpha sequence, unneccessary columns, etc. Hana's suggestion might be the quickest solution overall.

Hi Hana,

As far as I checked, I could not find this feature under the demo environment. Is there any limitation here?

How about the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/finance/public-sector/general-ledger-public-sector-trial-balance#feature-management

Hi,
Some features are enabled by default in the system and therefore do not appear in the feature management. If you are referring to the feature mentioned in the document, I did not see this feature in my test environment as well. So, I think the system may be enabled by default.
This is the path to the report:

For D365 Finance & Operations, the quickest and most audit-friendly way is usually via report, not Data Management.

Run the General ledger → Trial Balance (Detailed or Summary) or Transactions by Account report and set your date range with the correct from account / to account filters. Make sure “include opening balance” is selected so it reflects the year-end close and movement for the period. These reports are cleaner and more reliable for audit review than raw DMF exports.

At Ledger Labs, we normally pull the GL via standard reports first, then validate it against the year-end closing entry before handing it to auditors.
