Question asked by Jenny Carr 10 years ago
Hi, I am trying to enter o/b journals. I thought I could delete the second row of the journal and post a one line entry to add an o/b to accounts. when I try this however it comes up with an error advising DR & CR don't balance. But as it is an o/b its not a double entry transaction. These are entries that can not be completed using the getting started tabs and I have been advised to use journals, but its not working!
The other balances menu shows only balance sheet items - for any opening balances for P&L items that have not been added as opening debtor or creditor amounts, these will need to be added as a journal.
However be able to help get your opening balances correct we would need to see an opening Trial balance if possible?
Best answerHi John, for the accounts that appear on 'other balances' page, I am able to enter an existing account balance without explain the transaction. it is an existing balance so I do not have transaction details. so how do I create opening balances for the accounts not detailed on the other balances tab when I have no transaction information, only an opening balance figure
Hi Jenny,
Just speaking to you on live chat - please do send in the opening balances document you are working from and we will let you how best to add these in to Clear Books.
