Create a report variabled called rnBalance. Mark it to reset on a data group that matches up with your Code field. Set the Intial Value to party.balance (or whatever the opening balance field is called). Set the value to store to (Debit - Credit). Mark it as sum.

This should start the variable with the beginning balance, and then add the debits and subtract the credits for each detail record it processes.
