GL Out of Balance Carried Forward from Prior Period

Question

GL is out of balance, carried forward from a prior period. The knowledge base article has a process, but can only be done if you can find a period with a 0 beginning balance, I do not have a period with a beginning balance of 0.0. Any ideas?

What is the source of those rejected entries? I would speculate that they the Application of Origin is AP, and they are from either edited or deleted AP Invoices, where the accounting date was not changed to a current date when prompted for the reversing date. The system will not allow you to post entries. for more than one year prior to the current year, so those entries will never post. Go to General Ledger > Reports > Entries > Entries by Account. Choose the "New" transaction file (unposted entries) and enter the date range for the year two years prior to your current year. You will then have the detail with totals by account showing the accounts affected. Search the Sage Support knowledge base for article ID 50280. That article references two additional articles that should be of help. The steps required to make these changes are technical, and if you don't feel comfortable making these changes, you should consult your Sage Business Partner or Consultant, of by contacting Sage Technical Support.
