GL out of balance problem
02/20/13 at 09:42:32
 
GL-O tells me there's an out of balance problem, with CR entries out of balance by $268.24.  The out of balance report shows one item for that amount, half of a customer payment posting.  But when I look at GL-E, both sides of that entry hit the GL properly... a debit to Cash and a credit to Accts Receivable.
 
I ran a full GL-E for that date, and the debits exceed the credits by an entirely different amount, which is the credit side of an inventory OT type miscellaneous adjustment.  I should have a credit to Inventory for the same amount as the COS-Bill of Materials debit.
 
Am I doing this right?  Why is the Out of Balance report telling me there's a problem with something that looks like it hit the GL properly?

GL-O and GL-E are not looking at the same thing.  GL-E is looking at the posted transactions and unless an error was encountered during a posting (power failure, etc.) causing a partial posting, GL-E should always balance.  If something is already in GL-E then it should NOT still be in the unposted entries in GL-O.  You need to use GL-P to delete that entry since it is already reflected in the posted transactions.

GL-E shows everything balances.  So, just to confirm what I need to do... I need to find the entry in GL-P and delete it with the F4 key?
