Title: GL-O Out of balance nothing to post
Post by Irma on 03/03/09 at 06:29:09

GL-O has a warning "the last 76 transactions are causing the file to be out o balance" there is nothing to be posted and all transactions posted after that warning have been in balance.
The balance sheet is in balance. If there is nothing to be fixed how can I remove that warning?
Thanks for your help.

This has nothing to do with the balance sheet being in balance-- these are transactions that haven't been posted yet to the general ledger and it could be only the first transaction of 76 is out of balance for some reason (debits do not equal credits). In GL-O there is and out of balance report, but if you have no other transactions before the out of balance one you may not be able to get there-- instead you can go to GL-C and print all unposted (U) transactions to find the out of balance one(S).
Then you will have to use GL-P to edit the offending transaction.
Hope this helps.

In GL-O when it comes up with the message that t\here are 76 (or however many) entries out of balance, it asks if you want to exclude them. You have to say N so you can get into GL-O WITH the out of balance entries and then run the Out of Balance Report to find the problem. Then post all the other good batches and use GL-P to correct the problem.

The GL-P was used to correct the out of balance transaction and the warning is gone.

There is other issue now. The transaction missing was a credit to A/P (Acct# 2020) but the missing Invoice for the amount causing the difference is not showing in A/P Aging as invoice to be paid. The balance in books is higher compare to A/P Aging. How to fix this new issue?

Thank you for your prompt response.

This is related to a problem that was corrected with the 12/21 update. You can use AP-B and create a Beginning Balance type voucher to get the invoice onto the Aging without hitting the GL again.
