Title: Trial Un-Balance
Post by kerric on 05/20/04 at 09:29:36

Good afternoon. We are working on year - end numbers and ran across a conundrum. :-/

An expense account (which should have closed to the Retained Earnings account) is out of balance by (1375.28) and our A/P Other account is out of balance by 83.95. Leaving our trial balance out of whack by (1291.33).

Is there a way to force an entry or post an unbalanced entry in DBA? We know and can prove the transactions involved and they are balanced in 'maintain database.'

Thank you.

:D Yes, there is a way to post a one sided General Ledger entry to balance your accounts. However, this feature should be exercised with care; I had tech phone support the first time I needed to do this.

DBA menu System Manager - UT-A

program name : EDITGL

then proceed to enter the $amt required to balance your General ledger accounts (however, I don't believe you can make an adjustment directly to the retained earnings account, since DBA internally post entries to retained earnings)

This program feature ONLY affects the General Ledger - (what you enter will not filter down to any other report i.e. a/p aging)

You may want to talk to Lynn.

I forgot to mention, that after you finished your adjustments, you will also need to run UT-K-D, to recalultate the G/L chart of accounts, before running the financial statements.

Also, it sounds like part of your problem is an expense account that did not close properly to Retained Earnings. UT-A, GLEREDO will recalculate all the YE closing entries.
