****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** To solve the issue of profit of last month in the trial balance, you need to understand that the trial balance is a report that lists the balances of all general ledger accounts of a company at a certain point in time. The profit of last month would be reflected in the Retained Earnings account, which is a calculated field, not an actual value. If you're seeing multiple lines for Retained Earnings with different balances, it could be because you've customized the trial balance and added a field to segment the trial balance by a classification (e.g. department, location, class). NetSuite is trying to do this calculation for retained earnings for each of your segments, which doesn't result in the correct total. It's showing all lines that make up this calculation including prior year accounts because they factor into the retained earnings calculation ultimately. To correct this, you may need to manually pull in the correct retained earnings value and populate it on some of the monthly reporting you do. Also, remember that as part of the month-end tasks, transactions will be added to unrealized gains/loss. Then a reverse journal will be created on the first day of the next month. So you run the unrealized gain/ loss journals until the transactions are paid. This should be taken into consideration when calculating the profit for the last month.
