Opening Balances in GL

I for the life of me can not figure our this whole clearing account and corresponding account in the journal entry to in put opening balances. I an starting fresh and want to input previous amounts from my Quickbooks in my GL so I can start using Sage 100 from this month (May) and on. Can someone please Barney style it down for me? Or point me in the right direction to have it uploaded somehow.

    The clearing account is "Received and Not Invoiced Inventory"

    When receiving Inventory items, you can do the receipt in two steps.  First step is Receipt of GOODS, done when you get the product in the door.  This debits inventory (and increases the QOH) and credit Purchases Clearing.  When you later receive the invoice, you do a Receipt of Invoice which debits PC and credits AP.

    Note: you can also specify the invoice number when doing a Receipt of Goods, if you have it, in which case the PC account is bypassed and the posting if just debit Invt and credit AP.
