warning message when saving in Maintain Open Invoices

I open Maintain Open Invoices, chose the vendor and fill in the amount of invoice, etc. PCP credits my checking account and debits the expense account. When I hit SAVE I get a dialog box that reads: WARNING: The total debits and credits in each accounting fund do not balance. Do you want to continue? I always chose YES.
This started happening when I upgraded from V8.5 to V9 18 months ago. (I am a procrastinator) I just upgraded to V10 and hoped that it would fix itself but it has not.
Any thoughts on why this is happening or if it is even a problem?

This message occurs when the two accounts you are using are from different funds. For instance your checking account begins with 01 and your expense account begins with 02. If you are using only one checking account fund yet have different expense account funds this will happen. I had the same issue until I split the checking account up so that each fund had its own checking account fund number. I still only have one checking account but have split by account numbers only. Such as 01-1110, 02-1110, 03-1110 etc. This way when you expense the 02 fund you credit the 02 checking and the warning goes away.
