Help! System posted a one sided Entry

msbc · Post by **msbc** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 8:09 pm

I posted an entry to January 2008, and realized it was entered wrong so I reversed the posting. The reversal entry posted to December 2007 in error (as I have not closed the year), but only one side of the entry posted. Now the balance sheet and trial balance are out of balance by this amount. I am using V.9. What to I do to fix the GL as I don't want to close with it being out balance.

Is the trial balance out of balance just within an accounting fund or in total?

Trial balance was out of balance in total by the same amount. But I figured out how to post a one-sided entry to offset the difference and now I'm all set.

For anyone who ever has this issue, you can post an out of balance entry by using "OOB" in Ref/Check No. line and it will allow you to post the entry out of balance. Not recommended unless you have a glitch like I did.

Thank you!

Your tip solved my problem (in a different post) of a discrepancy between the Cash Management report and the offline checkbook register (which came about as a result of an error the bank make on a deposit amount).

That is exactly what happened to me last summer (and that is exactly how I fixed my problem.)

Just a heads up in case this happens to you...A couple months after I posted my OOB entry the system suddenly 'fixed' itself. Then I was out by the amount of my OOB entry so at that point I reversed my OOB entry and everything was in balance again.
