I noticed an oddity when reporting on last month's actual to budget numbers. During the month I had issued and posted a check. It shows up in the check register but that amount is not included in the GL balance for that account.
Any clues?
Thanks,
Jim

Usually, if a transaction shows on the Check Register report, but not on any other accounting reports, the problem is a difference between the DATE of the transaction vs. the POSTING MONTH of the transaction. The Check Register pulls transactions solely by date. Most other reports are generating balances looking at the accounting month that the transaction was posted to.
Example:
check 1457 :: 01/31/2008 :: February 2008
This transaction will show on a Check Register that includes the January date range, but will not be included in the calculations of the January Balance Sheet or Income & Expense Statement. The reason for this is that it was posted into February's business and will instead show on February reports.
