I recently inherited the accounting of a firm that did not have a lot of basic bookkeeping chops, so I've been doing a lot of cleanup work. They are using Sage 100 Contractor 2019, which is completely new to me, so I have been learning on the go. I've figured out most of what I need to know to this point, but today I ran into a problem that has me stumped.
At 2 different points in the past, an employee wrote checks directly against A/P. I found it because the A/P Aging report and the A/P balance on the Balance Sheet are considerably different. I was able to track down the entries causing the problem, but I can't figure out how to correct them.
When I try to enter adjusting entries, Sage tells me that I can't write an adjustment directly to A/P. So I tried creating invoices for the necessary amounts, but marking their status Paid before saving. Sage tells me that the transactions won't actually be written to the G/L. Sure enough, after saving, the Balance Sheet A/P balance did not change. So I can't figure out how to get the A/P balance corrected. Any and all bright ideas are welcome!
Thanks so much!
