New User here - using power church online.
i did something stupid, and one of my temporarily restricted accounts now has a negative opening balance.
The true opening balance for this account should be $0.
I did create some transactions, but i backed them all out and am starting fresh.
All the reports i've run confirm that,
I cannot find the transaction that caused this,
Is there any way to reset the opening balance for this account?

Thanks in advance for any help

If the only problem balance is a restricted equity account balance, you should be able to resolve this by entering a transaction in Fund Accounting > Enter Transactions that looks something like this:

01-3210-000 Restricted Equity (Credit) $100
01-3110-000 Unrestricted Equity (Debit) $100

Where $100 is the amount of the negative balance. Adding that amount back into the restricted equity account will bring it to zero.
