BBF for Sub-Accounts

I want to enter year-end balances for the various sub-accounts in our checking account to start out our 2013.
I entered the new balances as such:
d: unrestricted Net Assets $1000
c: Ministry name $1000
But when I print out the Sub-Account Report, the $1000 shows up in the 'Period' column. I was hoping that it would show up in the Beg. Balance.
What say you?

What month does your fiscal year start in? And what month did you input the transactions in? And when you input the credit to the Ministry Name was this a credit to a restricted equity account?

Fiscal yr is Jan to Dec and i dated the entry Jan 1. That was my mistake, wasn't it? The entry should have been dated 12/31 of last yr........correct?

Your posting month would have to be set to Dec 2012 and the transaction dated 12/31/2012.
When you close Dec 2012, the balance will show up as a beginning balance in 2013.
However, you have the debit and credit mixed up. It should be:
DB 01-1110-101 ministry name $1000
CR 01-3110-000 unrestricted net assets $1000
