You have three options in this regard -- 1. You may show opening stock at debit side and closing stock at credit side. 2. You may show 'Consumption' instead of showing opening/closing stock and purchases, where Consumption = Opening stock + Purchases during the year - Closing stock. 3. Since trial balance is summary of balances of ledgers and closing stock is not a ledger rather it is goods lying in the factory/godown, you should not show it in trial balance because it's not a ledger. But to avoid any confusion, I'll suggest you to tally both sides of trial balance, show closing balance in cr side.
