trial balance entry throws up unbalanced error despite the fact the balance total at the top is zero

Posted By Kay Gallagher over 7 years ago

Entering opening TB balances from old system onto Sage 50 v22 - carefully checked every line and both totals at the bottom clearly DO equal each other plus the Balancing Total at the top of the Journal is Zero (showing Debits do equal credits) - so why does Sage keep bouncing an Error message at me saying they don't?

Solved : if anyone else gets this error - Sage fields for opening balances do not like very large numbers (ie Millions) - so I divided the problem debits and credits by 4 and entered on 4 different lines (same nominal code) - it worked!
